Outdoor Teaching Assistant Required until end of the academic year!

Your new company

Based in North Preston, this specialist school works with SEMH pupils from the ages of 11-16. Offering a broad range of engaging curriculum in order to provide their pupils with the opportunity to develop and grow their academic and social skills.

Your new role

Working alongside an experienced Outdoor Education lead, you will be taking KS3 children to outdoor activities Monday-Thursday, for the majority of the working day. You will be involved in the supervision of the pupils (up to 8 pupils with the other member of staff) to ensure health and safety are followed at all times.
On Fridays, you would be school-based with a PPA to complete admin tasks assigned by the outdoor education lead and then work with pupils in school. Friday afternoon is activity time for pupils, so you will be asked to play football, pool, golf, basketball, supervise computing or enhance pupils' social skills.


What you'll need to succeed

Be able to build good relationships with pupils based on clear boundaries, respect and understanding of individual pupil needs (some have sensory issues so can't handle mud or sand, some have physical limitations, some have low social skills so need appropriate behaviour modelled consistently).

What you'll get in return

  • Long-term assignments lasting through to the end of the academic year, with the chance to help nurture, enhance and build relationships with the pupils.

  • A dedicated consultant who will support you throughout the placement

  • Access to free online professional development training

  • Invited to join our Hays Education Hub App, which is how we will send out newly registered jobs tailored to you

  • Refer a Friend scheme
  • Holiday Pay scheme
