Job Description
_**How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*?**_
**Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so
we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s worklife balance.
We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could
be working one day less a week (or equivalent).**
**4DWW will be rolled out within our school, when we have a full complement of
staff, and within the next year – so there’s never been a more exciting time
to join us #teamOFG!**
Become a Teaching Assistant at Longdon Park School, part of Options Autism and
start working towards yours.
**Salary:** £20,906.25 per annum _**(not pro rata)**_
**Hours** : 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday 8.20-16.00
**Contract:** Permanent, Term time only
**UK Applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.**
Longdon Park School opened in June 2015. We are a co-educational day school
catering for pupils aged 7 to 18 with complex educational needs, communication
difficulties and challenging behaviour primarily with a diagnosis of ASD. We
provide a therapeutic, supportive and inclusive learning environment where our
young people learn to accept responsibility for their actions, make positive
decisions and display pro-social behaviour. We are committed to raising
achievement and enabling pupils to recognise their potential and supporting
them through a personalised, engaging curriculum. Our priority is to develop
the foundation knowledge and skills required to make a manageable and smooth
transition to the next life stage.
Longdon Park School is not readily accessible by public transport.
We are really proud to say that in 2024, Outcomes First Group were officially
certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for the fifth year running.
**The opportunity**
Enjoy a rewarding education career and have a real impact on pupils and young
people’s lives. Join an amazing team creating supportive, nurturing
environments where our pupils achieve far more than they ever expected.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will connect directly with the brilliant pupils
and young people we care for, helping to make sure they get the very best from
their education. Each individual has a diagnosis of Autism and may have
additional needs. They have so much potential, and they will rely on you to
guide their learning journeys bespoke to them.
You will help prepare learning materials and run classroom activities, with
plenty of hands-on experience and some supervision too. You will take
responsibility for their emotional and physical needs, supporting them to
develop as individuals and engage with the world.
You will face challenges and overcome them as you flourish and thrive, sharing
your skills and learning from others as your career takes you as high as you
always dreamed you could go.
Every day will be different, but you will have all the support you need, with
lots of skills and experience to draw on along with valuable advice and
guidance too.
**Who we are looking for**
You will be adaptable and ready to work in a variety of classroom roles, both
indoors and outside according to individual need. Taking a responsive and
caring approach, you may be running classroom activities, leading outdoor
experiences or supervising pupils as they explore further afield.
Our schools are built on great teamwork and mutual support. If you enjoy
working as part of a dedicated team, sharing knowledge, experience and
learning, simply fill in our safeguarding-compliant application form and a
member of our team will be in touch.
