North Leamington School is seeking committed and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants Level 1 to join our large, friendly, and high-performing Individual Educational Needs (IEN) Team. Working closely with teachers, the SENCo and Associate SENCos, you will play a vital role in supporting students to achieve their full potential.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful and supportive Multi-Academy Trust that values its staff and is committed to professional development. Whether you are looking to begin your career in education or build on existing experience, we can offer a rewarding role with excellent opportunities for progression.

  • Enthusiastic, flexible and resilient in their approach.
  • Excellent communicators with strong interpersonal skills.
  • Able to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Calm, patient and able to build positive relationships with students.
  • Positive role models who want the very best outcomes for every child.

Experience of working with young people is desirable, particularly those with individual educational needs and/or complex needs. However, applications are equally welcomed from candidates who can demonstrate a genuine interest in supporting students and helping them thrive both academically and personally.

What We Offer:
  • A fantastic modern school environment with a strong team culture
  • A very generous pension scheme and access to a range of health and wellbeing services
  • A first-class commitment to developing individuals through personalised CPD programmes
  • An easily accessible location with plentiful onsite parking
