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).
4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join us #teamOFG
Teaching Assistant
Location: Higford School, Shifnal, Shropshire
Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Contract: Permanent; Term Time only
As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a Teaching Assistant to join our close-knit team at Higford School, part of Options Autism.
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.

If you are eager to help vulnerable pupils to live happy, fulfilling lives, this is the role for you. We will provide you with full training and development to succeed within your role.
Taking a responsive and caring approach, you may be running classroom activities, leading outdoor experiences or supervising pupils as they explore further afield.
Our schools are built on great teamwork and mutual support. Options Higford is a special school set in 28 acres of beautiful Shropshire countryside. We provide a high quality, holistic education for up to 60 autistic students who also have associated behavioural needs. We provide personalised curriculums for each student based on their individual needs and aim to support them to make progress academically, socially, with skills for life, regulating their emotions and accessing the community.
For over 16 years Options Autism have provided care and education to pupils and adults with autism, complex needs and learning difficulties. Why join Options Autism?

~ Pension scheme with options to increase your contributions
~“Your Wellbeing Matters” – access to a wide range of first-class mental health support services and physical health checks
