Summary
Calm in the Storm? Lead Our Therapeutic Support Team
It takes a special kind of person to remain calm when things get tough. We are looking for high-level SEND practitioners for our new Chaldon school-people who see a challenge and think "how can I help?"
-
Expertise Required: Autism, SEMH, and Behavioural Leadership.
-
Your Role: Implementing tailored sensory activities and managing escalations with pure empathy.
-
Our Promise: We give you the space and the high-ratio support you need to actually make a difference.
We believe in a "person-first" approach. With small class sizes and a high ratio of support, we give our students-and our staff-the space to succeed.
-
Competitive Pay: £24,139 - £25,819 (Actual Salary) | £13.51 - £14.45 per hour.
-
Welcome Bonus: £1,000 to kickstart your journey with us.
-
Work-Life Balance: Term-time only contract (40 hours per week).
-
Collaborative Culture: Work alongside a multi-disciplinary intervention team in a state-of-the-art environment.
As a Senior/Experienced Teaching Assistant, you won't just be "helping out." You will be a vital link in our students' developmental chain. Your day-to-day will involve:
-
Tailored Support: Implementing and adapting learning activities to meet complex sensory and emotional needs.
-
Behavioural Leadership: Using your experience to manage escalations with empathy, patience, and a positive, therapeutic approach.
-
Promoting Independence: Helping students build the life skills and confidence they need to navigate the world beyond the classroom.
-
Safeguarding Excellence: Acting as a champion for the welfare and wellbeing of every young person in our care.
Our school day is structured to provide consistency for our students:
-
Monday - Wednesday: 08:15 - 16:45
-
Thursday: 08:15 - 17:00
-
Friday: 08:15 - 16:00
-
Note: While based in Chaldon, occasional flexibility to work at our nearby satellite site in Caterham may be required.
We are seeking practitioners who understand that progress isn't always linear. You should have:
-
Proven Experience: A background in supporting children with SEND, specifically Autism and SEMH.
-
Resilience: The ability to remain calm under pressure and adapt your style to the "energy" of the room.
-
Passion: A genuine desire to be part of a brand-new project and help build a school from the ground up.
"Every opportunity to achieve." That is our promise to our students. If you have the skills to help them get there, we'd love to meet you.
