Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
As our new SEND Intervention Specialist Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting the learning and well-being of some of our most vulnerable and high-potential students. Working closely with the SENCO and wider support staff team, you will deliver targeted 1:1 and small group interventions across a range of areas—including literacy, numeracy, speech and language, social skills and emotional well-being programmes such as CBT and Worry Busters.
Your work will directly influence the progress and confidence of students with additional needs, many of whom require consistent and specialised support to reach their full potential. You’ll also contribute to the development, monitoring and review of interventions, ensuring they remain impactful and relevant to both student needs and wider school priorities.
This role is perfect for someone with strong communication skills, a proactive approach to supporting learning and a firm commitment to safeguarding and inclusion. Whether you're helping students in class, leading a group session, liaising with parents and staff or supervising at homework club or exam sessions, your contribution will make a meaningful difference every day.
In return, we offer a warm, collaborative environment, comprehensive professional development and a culture that values every member of the team. You will be part of a school that believes in the power of education to transform lives—and where every child is supported to make outstanding progress, regardless of background or need.
What the school offers its staff
• 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.
