About the Role
Are you passionate about helping young people overcome challenges, build confidence and discover what they're truly capable of? At Hillingdon Grange School, we're looking for a caring, enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our team and help students with autism and additional needs achieve their potential.
This is more than a classroom support role. It's an opportunity to become a trusted role model, encourage independence and make a meaningful difference to a young person's education and everyday life. Whether you're helping a student understand something new, supporting them through a challenging moment or celebrating a personal achievement, you'll play an important part in their journey.
Working closely with teachers, tutors and specialist colleagues, you'll help create a safe, structured and nurturing learning environment where every student feels understood, valued and encouraged to succeed.
If you're looking for a rewarding role where your patience, positivity and encouragement can make a lasting difference, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
• Help students achieve their potential, providing individual and small-group support to make learning accessible, engaging and rewarding.
• Bring learning to life, supporting teachers and tutors with lessons, activities and personalised approaches that meet individual needs.
• Build confidence and independence, encouraging students to develop communication, social skills and essential everyday life skills.
• Support positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing, helping students develop self-regulation skills in a calm, structured and supportive environment.
• Celebrate progress and achievement, contributing to Individual Education Plans, Behaviour Support Profiles, risk assessments and student progress records.
• Work collaboratively with specialist colleagues, maintaining effective communication between teaching, care and other school teams.
• Champion student safety and wellbeing, providing appropriate support during classroom activities, educational visits and personal care routines where required.
• Create a positive learning environment, helping maintain resources, accurate records and a school culture where every student feels included and valued.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who believes every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed and who brings the patience, resilience and enthusiasm to help make that happen.
You'll bring:
• Previous experience working within an educational setting.
• Experience supporting students with autism and/or behaviours that challenge.
• A caring, patient and compassionate approach, with a genuine passion for supporting young people with additional needs.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with students and colleagues.
• The ability to adapt your approach to meet individual learning, communication and emotional needs.
• A calm, resilient and positive attitude when supporting students through challenges.
• A collaborative approach, with the confidence to work under the direction of teachers and contribute to a multidisciplinary team.
• A commitment to safeguarding, student wellbeing and maintaining a safe, inclusive learning environment.
• A willingness to undertake professional development and work towards relevant qualifications as required.
