Mayfield School is looking for a number of positive and flexible teaching assistants to join our growing team.

Our school is a special school for 310 pupils aged between 2 and 19 with a wide range of special educational needs and disabilities including autism.


The school is split across two sites - Wheeler Street in Lozells (co-located with Holte School and Lozells Junior and Infant School and Nursery) and Heathfield Road in Handsworth.

Successful applicants can be asked to work at either site depending on the needs of the school.

At Mayfield School, teaching assistants are valued and appreciated as the largest workforce group in our organisation. Teaching assistants have a key role in supporting pupils to access the curriculum and engage in learning.

This is a joyful and rewarding job and one where you can really make a difference to the lives of young people and their families.

We are looking for people who can role model positive behaviours, have experience of working directly with children or young people in any setting and who are willing to work with others as part of a strong team.


A recent welbee staff survey showed Mayfield as being in the top 20% of schools showing that risks of work-related stress and staff wellbeing are effectively managed and controlled.

Our teaching assistants tell us that they value the in-house training offered by the school and welcome the professional development opportunities available to them.

This post could be based in any key stage class working with pupils who have persistent differences with social interaction, social communication and understanding emotions.

Our pupils need clear boundaries and consistent support with engagement, learning, emotional regulation, sensory needs and behaviour management.


Special school experience is not necessary providing you have a willingness to learn and a dedication to securing positive outcomes for all pupils.

We are proud to be part of Education Impact Academy Trust where "better never ends".


In addition to the salary, we offer a benefits package for all employees through BSHF and regular opportunities for professional development and growth through the school and as part of the Trust.


This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act and therefore the ability to speak fluent English is an essential requirement of the role.
