About Us - Do you want to work in a brand-new school?
Futures Matter Education Ltd are opening a new school for pupils aged 11 to 16 years, who have a range of needs, difficulties, and talents. Many pupils will have had a really poor experience of life and school. There will be a many challenges and rewards as we help pupils to have a more positive experience of education. With the right resources we know we will help pupils to succeed. We already have amazing school buildings, but we know that the best resource of all is our staff team.
You will be working with children who have a range of diagnoses and special needs, including moderate learning difficulties, and/ or autism, or social, emotional, or mental health diagnoses and challenges.

Time with us is precious and ultimately, pupils have little time ahead of them before reaching adulthood. We expect our pupils to be well supported to develop the skills, ambition, and resilience to succeed in a career of choice, and as successful individuals in life beyond school.
We are looking for an inspirational Teaching Assistant who is passionate about helping us to make school and learning attractive, ‘easy’, and fun. Pupils will question existing views they hold about school because you have helped them to achieve something and taste success. Our staff must be eager to work creatively and flexibly to engage with pupils and ignite their enthusiasm. This will ultimately improve their attitudes, aspirations and overall outcomes.
You will be working alongside teaching staff with small class groups of up to five pupils. Sometimes you will work with one pupil as part of a group. As a Teaching Assistant, you will support pupils to develop personally, socially, emotionally and academically to secure readiness for adulthood. This will be a challenging but incredibly rewarding role and career path for the right person.
