Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent).
Due to growth in our service, we are recruiting multiple Teaching Assistants to join our amazing team at Stretton Shires School, Stretton, Rutland. Let us invest in you, by upskilling you to build your career in a thriving and friendly environment, where our children and young people are at the forefront of everything we do. We can offer you an extensive training package, if you have the desire there are many qualifications available for our Teaching Assistants to work towards. Many of our Teaching Assistants even choose to go on to complete the ‘Teachers of Tomorrow’ programme to become fully qualified teachers – the opportunities are endless
~£5 hours per week, Monday to Friday 8:30am-4:30pm
~ Permanent; Term Time only

We are looking for staff who have a passion for working with our pupils, have a compassionate, caring manner and a mature, non-judgemental approach to life. We are seeking people who thrive on working in a challenging, but immensely rewarding and fulfilling environment, who are passionate about supporting the development of social, life and independence skills and who truly want to make a difference in the lives of young people. Our ideal candidates will be people who want to support the health and development of children and young people both in school, and in community settings, with the core aim of preparation for adulthood.
You will ideally have some knowledge and understanding or an interest in autism and a desire to develop your skills and knowledge in this field.

We have a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
Set in the heart of the Rutland countryside, Stretton Shires School is an independent day and residential school catering for autistic young people, and those with associated needs, offering specialist secondary education for pupils aged 11 – 18.
Established in 2005 as a residential home and school, we are currently growing our day pupil numbers, meaning we constantly need to recruit passionate and dedicated staff to support our growth aspirations. 
Our aim for the young people coming to Stretton Shires is quite simple; Through these actions, we can equip every young person with the skills and knowledge they need to go on to succeed in their adult lives.
For over 16 years Options Autism have provided care and education to pupils, young people and adults with autism, complex needs and learning difficulties. Why join Options Autism?
