What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an exciting opportunity to join our school as a classroom-based Teaching Assistant, supporting learning in a dynamic and inclusive environment. You will work closely with teaching staff and the SEND team to support students’ academic progress and personal development—helping them access the curriculum, build confidence and thrive in the classroom.
In this role, you will assist with the day-to-day needs of our students, including delivering targeted interventions, reinforcing learning and supporting behaviour and engagement strategies. You’ll play a vital part in enabling students to make rapid progress and achieve their full potential.
We are looking for someone who can form positive, respectful relationships, set high expectations and bring energy, organisation and compassion to the team. You’ll be well supported by a large and experienced SEND department and have access to high-quality CPD.
Prior experience of working with children or in a school is useful but not essential—many of our most valued colleagues have grown into the role on the job. We particularly welcome applications from graduates or those considering a longer-term career in teaching, as this role provides excellent insight and experience in a vibrant secondary setting.
In addition to your core responsibilities, you will be expected to uphold the safeguarding and welfare of students at all times, following school policies and statutory guidance, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).
What the school offers its staff
We offer an incentive package which includes:
• A comprehensive induction programme for new staff to the academy.
• On-going investment into your career development through appropriate CPD.
• Support and mentoring by a strong Senior Leadership Team and other experienced leaders.
• Access to the Bike 2 Work scheme allowing up to 42% discount on the cost of bikes and equipment.
• Full use of an employee assistance programme supporting wellbeing.
• Free breakfast of bagel/cereal/porridge/tea/orange juice.
• Staffroom with complimentary tea and coffee.
• Subsidised membership of Benenden Healthcare (affordable alternative to private health insurance).
• On-site parking.
• Free Breakfast Club/After School Club place for staff children at Ocklynge Junior School.
• Enviable setting and extensive grounds.
Commitment to safeguarding
The South Downs Learning Trust and all our academies take notice of and adhere to all the national and local policies and guidance in regard to Safeguarding Children and Young People. We are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All offers of employment are subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, references, an online search, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.
