Job Start: October 2025

Contract Type: Permanent, part time (35 hours per week / 39 weeks per year)

At Sir Bobby Robson School, we believe every child deserves a place where they feel they truly belong. Through strong relationships and high expectations, we help them to believe in themselves and their future so they can become the very best version of who they want to be. We are a specialist SEMH school for pupils aged 8 - 16 and we are looking for a caring, resilient and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our team. Our pupils have huge potential and with the right support they thrive.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital part in the classroom and the wider school community. Your role will include:

- Supporting learners in lessons - working alongside teachers to help pupils access the curriculum, whether in whole-class settings, small groups or 1:1.
- Delivering targeted interventions - focusing on literacy, numeracy and wider SEND/SEMH programmes to help pupils make progress.
- Promoting social and emotional development - helping pupils manage their feelings, build resilience and develop positive relationships.
- Encouraging participation in a broad curriculum - supporting lessons in sport, art, music, vocational and outdoor learning.
- Contributing to enrichment activities - joining pupils in activities beyond the classroom that build confidence, independence and a sense of achievement.
- Being a role model every day - showing pupils patience, consistency and positivity to help them make good choices and use strategies to manage their emotions.

You’ll work in smaller classes with a high staff-to-pupil ratio which means you can build strong relationships and see the difference you make daily.

We are looking for someone who:

- Has patience, empathy and a passion for supporting children and young people.
- Is resilient and able to respond calmly to the challenges SEMH needs can bring.
- Can build strong relationships with pupils and colleagues.
- Enjoys working as part of a supportive and positive staff team.
- Wants to keep learning - we provide high-quality training and CPD opportunities through both our school and Unity Schools Partnership.

Why join us?
- We are a friendly school with a strong school ethos and vision.
- Class sizes are small and there is a high staff-to-pupil ratio.
- There is trust wide training, CPD and career development opportunities.
- You will make a lasting difference to the lives of children and families across Suffolk.
