Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Teaching Personnel Full time


Are you a caring person, who has always wanted to a career supporting the most vulnerable children in the community but not know what qualifications or training you need? Or have you been in education already and are disillusioned with the emphasis on exam results and OFSTED inspections? Or are you a graduate who wants to get valuable experience working in a psychological or educational enviroment?

If so, you may be surprised to hear that specific teaching assistant training or experience is not required - Schools are far more interested in personalities (caring, patient, resilient), motivations and passions. There is not a one size fits all and the best TAs come from a variety of backgrounds. Here's just a few of the best examples:

  • Graduates: especially art, drama, psychology and criminology
  • Youth leaders
  • Support workers
  • Carers and Babysitters
  • Sports coaches

We are looking for a full-time Teaching Assistant to start now and in September in a SEN school based in BS16. When I went to visit the school I was taken aback by the clear passion and care of its support team. With a soft play area and sensory needs, every day is made fun and progress is determined on all aspects of development rather than just results. Staff are freidnly and welcoming and everyone is welcome to free tea, coffee and cereal. You may need to deliever personal care to some of the students throughout the day. The children have a range of needs including autisim, profound and multiple disabilites and physical disabilities. If you want to be a part of changing lives and you think you are the right fit. Please get in touch immediately - I look forward to your hearing from you.

A quick snapshot:
