Summary
Trade the "9-to-5" for Work That Actually Matters.
Are you tired of the corporate grind or looking for a career that offers more than just meeting targets? If you are a natural communicator with a high level of emotional intelligence, your skills are needed in Cranleigh.
We are seeking Teaching Assistants to join a leading Specialist Trust. Here, "success" isn't measured in spreadsheets-it's measured in the breakthrough moment a student communicates their needs for the first time or masters a life skill they've practiced for months.
The MissionWorking with children and young people with autism and complex learning needs requires a specific mindset. You aren't just an assistant; you are a facilitator of independence.
-
Mentorship: Use your personality to build trust and bridge the gap between the curriculum and the student.
-
Problem Solving: Every day presents a new puzzle. You'll adapt your approach in real-time to support diverse learning styles.
-
Multidisciplinary Teamwork: Collaborate with therapists and specialists, gaining world-class insight into behavioural science and SEN education.
We aren't looking for a specific degree or a decade of classroom experience. We are looking for potential. This role is perfect for you if:
-
You are unflappable: You keep your cool when things get loud or unpredictable.
-
You are observant: You notice the small details that others might miss.
-
You are ambitious: You want a role that offers significant personal and professional growth.
This is a place where you can build a long-term career while maintaining a healthy life outside of work.
