Are you looking for a new challenge to start as soon as possible? Would you like to be part of a dedicated team and help transform a child’s life? If you’re passionate about making a difference and understand the importance of supporting the most vulnerable in our society, we’d love to hear from you. You don’t need extensive training before starting—just enthusiasm, a genuine interest in working with children, and a willingness to learn. We are currently seeking Teaching Assistants to join our team at Stocklake Park School, supporting students with a range of special educational and complex needs. Also, as part of Buckinghamshire Council, you’ll enjoy:
• Financial rewards and discounts at local shops, cafés, and restaurants
• Access to a generous pension scheme
• A free, confidential 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme

Stocklake Park Secondary School is part of the Vale Federation of Schools and caters to students with moderate to severe learning difficulties. With 104 students currently on roll at the main site, the school follows a primary model designed to meet individual educational needs while developing social and personal skills. Our curriculum is structured to give students the opportunity to explore a wide range of subjects in a supportive and inclusive environment. We provide high-quality education and care, supported by a multidisciplinary team of therapists and professionals who deliver tailored therapies to meet each student’s needs.
Facilities include:
• Access to swimming at our primary site
• A rebound therapy centre
• Purpose-built outdoor spaces, including a MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) and playground equipment
We offer:
• An excellent training package for staff
• A fantastic opportunity to join an innovative and forward-thinking team.
• A therapeutic and unique learning environment
• Convenient access to bus and train links
• On-site parking for staff

Working under the guidance of teaching and senior class staff, this rewarding—yet sometimes challenging—role involves supporting students to access and engage with teacher-led curriculum and learning activities.
Key responsibilities include:
• Assisting with the implementation of individual education and behaviour plans
• Supporting learning both in the classroom and in alternative settings
• Providing personal care, attending to hygiene needs, and administering medication
Comprehensive training is provided to support you in the role, and we actively encourage continued professional development for all staff. For further details please see the Job Description and Candidate Pack.

We are looking for individuals who bring resilience, common sense, and a strong team spirit to their work. The ideal candidate will have a positive attitude and a genuine appreciation for encouraging independence in students with special educational and complex needs.
Key attributes include:
• The ability to communicate effectively with all members of the school community
• Confidence in liaising with other professionals to implement recommended strategies
