The Role for the Specialist

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant or SEN Practitioner looking for a setting that matches your expertise? We are seeking a high-calibre professional to join our therapeutic, purpose-built school in St Ives.

Supporting students (ages 11-16) with SEMH, Autism, and complex communication difficulties, this is a role for those who understand that “behaviour is communication.” You will work within a sophisticated framework of care, helping students who have often been misunderstood in mainstream settings to finally find their feet.

  • Therapeutic Approach: Work alongside specialists to deliver adapted learning activities.
  • Professional Agency: You are a vital part of the classroom’s clinical and educational success.

A Benefits Package Designed for Professionals

We respect your expertise and support your long-term wellbeing with a comprehensive package:

  • Healthcare for the Household: 24/7 private GP access for you and everyone living with you, plus a UK Health Cash Plan for dental and optical.
  • Financial Security: Enhanced Pension, Life Assurance, and Company Sick Pay.
  • Lifestyle Perks: Significant savings via Perkbox (groceries, utilities, travel) and our Cycle to Work/Car schemes.
  • Professional Growth: Access to advanced SEN training and career progression pathways within the group.

Your Expertise

We are looking for a qualified candidate who brings:

  • SEMH and ASD interventions.
  • The ability to adapt curriculum resources for complex learning needs.
  • A commitment to positive behaviour support and trauma-informed practice.
