Ashley Park School is located in the stunning market town on the south bank of the Thames in the borough of Surrey.

It forms part of the Greater London built up area and is served by a wide range of transport routes to school, making it easily accessible.

Our new specialist school will cater for young people with complex communication needs, autism and associated learning and emotional needs.

Our aim is to help pupils excel by providing a structured, nurturing approach, with pupils accessing a broad, balanced, engaging and extraordinarily rich curriculum.

The opportunity
Enjoy a rewarding education career and have a real impact on pupils' lives. Join an amazing team creating supportive, nurturing environments where our pupils achieve far more than they ever expected.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will connect directly with the brilliant pupils we care for, helping to make sure they get the very best from their education.

Each individual has a diagnosis of Autism and may have additional needs. They have so much potential, and they will rely on you to guide their learning journeys bespoke to them.

You will help prepare learning materials and run classroom activities, with plenty of hands-on experience and some supervision too.

You will take responsibility for their emotional and physical needs, supporting them to develop as individuals and engage with the world.

You will face challenges and overcome them as you flourish and thrive, sharing your skills and learning from others as your career takes you as high as you always dreamed you could go.

Every day will be different, but you will have all the support you need, with lots of skills and experience to draw on along with valuable advice and guidance too.

Who we are looking for

The successful applicant will be adaptable and ready to work in a variety of classroom roles, both indoors and outside according to individual need.

Taking a responsive and caring approach, you may be running classroom activities, leading outdoor experiences, or supervising pupils as they explore further afield.

Previous experience as a Teaching Assistant and working with pupils on the autistic spectrum is highly desirable.
