Teaching Assistant – Full Time & Part Time
Location: Walsall Start Date: ASAP Contract: Full-time or part-time (Part‑time applicants must be available for the full school day: 8:30am–3:30pm)
Are you passionate about supporting children with complex needs in a warm, nurturing, and truly inspiring specialist environment? This exceptional Walsall-based special school is looking for dedicated Teaching Assistants to join their outstanding team.
This setting is known for its compassion, its creativity, and its unwavering commitment to helping children with significant learning needs thrive. Working here isn’t just rewarding — it’s a privilege.
About the Setting
This specialist provision supports children aged 3–14 with a wide range of additional and complex needs, including:
- Severe or profound learning difficulties
- Autism and communication needs
- Multi‑sensory or physical impairments
- Medical or care needs requiring consistency and sensitivity
- Complex developmental or cognitive challenges
The school is built around warmth, patience, and connection. Staff work as one cohesive team, ensuring every child is understood, supported, and able to learn in a way that suits them.
This is a place where children are celebrated for who they are, and where staff feel proud of the difference they make every day.
Exceptional Specialist Facilities
The school offers an impressive range of tailored environments designed to support complex needs, such as:
- Purpose‑built classrooms with sensory‑friendly layouts
- Dedicated therapy and intervention spaces
- Specialist resources and assistive technology to aid communication
- Calming sensory areas for emotional regulation
- Nurturing outdoor spaces designed for exploration, movement, and play
- Opportunities for creative, multi‑sensory and experiential learning
Every part of the environment is designed to ensure pupils feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
About the Role
As a Teaching Assistant, your work will make a genuine and lasting impact. You will:
- Support pupils 1:1 and in small groups
- Work closely with teachers, therapists, and support professionals
- Help deliver personalised, multi‑sensory learning experiences
- Use visual, communication, and sensory strategies to engage pupils
- Support personal care or physical needs where required (training provided)
- Encourage independence, wellbeing, and joyful participation
- Be part of a compassionate, highly skilled team
Every day is meaningful — and every moment matters.
✅ Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need previous special school experience — just the right qualities:
- Warm, patient, and nurturing
- Resilient, calm, and solution‑focused
- Passionate about helping children with complex needs thrive
- A team player with a positive, empathetic approach
- Willing to learn specialist strategies and techniques
- Able to work the full school day (8:30am–3:30pm), even if applying part‑time
If you have experience in care, early years, SEN, or therapeutic settings, that’s a bonus — but not essential.
What You’ll Gain
In return, you’ll join a truly remarkable team and receive:
- Supportive onboarding and high‑quality training
- A warm, collaborative, and uplifting staff culture
- Opportunities for professional development and progression
- A role that offers purpose, pride, and daily fulfilment
- The chance to make a life‑changing difference to children who need it most
If you want a role where you’ll feel valued, inspired, and able to make a profound difference — this Walsall specialist school is the perfect place to take your next step.
