About the Role

Groveside school is seeking a dedicated, compassionate, and proactive Teaching Assistant to join our specialist education team. If you are passionate about supporting young people with autism and helping them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Teaching Assistant you will play a vital role in delivering high‑quality education and care to our students. Working closely with class teachers, tutors, and our multi‑professional team, you will help create a safe, stimulating, and supportive learning environment where every student can achieve their full potential.

This role is ideal for someone who is patient, resilient, and committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people with autistic spectrum disorder.

What you will be doing

Support class teachers and tutors in delivering high‑quality education, implementing all relevant policies, and creating a structured, autism‑appropriate learning environment.
Provide individual and group support to students to help them access the curriculum, develop independence, and progress socially, emotionally, and academically.
Assist with planning, risk assessments, and the creation, updating, and evaluation of student documentation including IEPs, BSPs, risk assessments, and communication profiles.
Help manage challenging behaviour using consistent strategies that promote students’ development from external control to self‑control.
Contribute to the preparation of teaching resources, classroom organisation, and the effective use and maintenance of equipment and learning materials.
Work collaboratively with teaching, care, and multi‑professional teams, maintaining strong communication to ensure a consistent approach between school, home, and other departments.
Support students with morning routines and personal care where required, ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and safeguarding at all times.
Maintain accurate records, follow all safeguarding, behaviour, and health & safety policies, and engage in ongoing training, meetings, and professional development.

What you will bring

Experience working with young people or adults with autism (desirable but not essential).
A calm, patient, and empathetic approach.
Strong communication and teamwork skills.
Willingness to learn, adapt, and take part in ongoing professional development.
Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students.
