Summary
The Chalet School is a primary school for children and young people (CYP) with Autism Spectrum Condition. In September 2024 we are opening 2 new satellite classes at Headlands Trading Estate (SN2) called The Nest. This role could be for the new site or our main site. If you have a preference as to which site you would like to apply for, please make this clear in your application.We are in search of Senior Teaching Assistants who:
• Are nurturing and empathetic
• Have a great sense of humour
• Are an adaptable, collaborative team player
• Are patient with a flair for celebrating the smallest of successes
• Can take a leading role in supporting the class teacher
If this sounds like you, we’d love for you to join our friendly and dedicated team. Our children are unique and need positive, supportive and fun Teaching Assistants who understand that our learning journeys are a bit different and that’s great!
The Chalet School is proud to be part of Brunel Academies Trust - a growing educational community with no barriers, only potential. We strive to significantly improve the life chances and outcomes for our CYP within our SEND, CofE and mainstream EPs.
What it’s like to work at The Chalet School:
‘I feel working within a school community with so many like-minded people, we support the children to achieve so many life skills to prepare them for their future. Everyday is different, and the learning opportunities the children experience can vary from pretending to be on a boat to having Zoolab coming in, exploring and holding insects.
‘I'm still learning! Each day is still fresh and new with new challenges and experiences. There’s never a dull moment, yes there are challenges, but I've learnt to be adaptable. You have to think on your feet, but we are also able to celebrate numerous successes with the children.’
‘I enjoy working with all the different needs of the children in class, building relationships and spending time sharing their interests. We become a team and with the routines and structure of the session, day and week the children grow in confidence. You put the time in, and you get your rewards a smile, high five or a note from home.’
