How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?
At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.
That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.
Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG.
Job Title: Teaching Assistant
Location: Mountfield Heath School, Robertsbridge TN32 5FA
Salary: £12,543.75 to £14,440.00 per annum dependent on experience (Not pro rata)
Hours: 22.5 hours per week over 3 days – Monday, Thursday and Friday
Contract: Permanent, Term Time Only
Start: November 2025
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
As part of our continued growth, Mountfield Heath School in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, is excited to offer a rewarding opportunity for a Teaching Assistant to join our warm, supportive, and dedicated team.
About the Role
If you’re passionate about helping young people reach their full potential in a nurturing, inclusive environment – we want to hear from you.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will play a key role in helping our pupils develop academically, emotionally, and socially – often in ways they never thought possible.
This is a role for someone who thrives in a varied environment, is passionate about inclusive education, and is ready to support young people as they grow in confidence and independence.
Your responsibilities will include:
Providing one-to-one and group support to pupils with additional and complex needs, helping them stay engaged and feel safe and valued.
Preparing and delivering engaging learning activities, in partnership with teaching staff, to support pupils’ academic progress and curiosity.
Supporting emotional, social, and physical development with patience and care, encouraging resilience and positive behaviour.
Taking part in a mix of classroom-based and outdoor learning experiences – from structured lessons to creative and practical sessions.
Working closely with teachers, therapists, and other professionals to create a consistent and nurturing environment that enables every pupil to thrive.
No two days are the same — and with the guidance of our experienced and compassionate team, you'll always feel supported and valued in your role.
