Full Job Description

We're on a mission to give our colleagues an amazing work/life balance!

Job title:         Teaching Assistant

Location:        Brick Lane School, Tower Hamlets, London

Salary:            £21,508.35 per annum

Hours:            37.5 hours per week; Monday to Friday 8am-4pm

Contract:        Permanent, Term Time only

UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.

Are you a Teaching Assistant committed to improving the lives of young people?

As part of our continued growth we are looking for Teaching Assistants to join our brand new team at our new School based in Tower Hamlets, London. 

About the role

As a Teaching Assistant, you will support our Teachers to take a creative approach to teaching pupils according to their educational needs, maximising pupils' achievement, and ability to develop.

This is a great opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who is looking to continue their career in Education and is motivated to inspire learning in pupils with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and you will be working in a school where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.

Quality is always top of our agenda and we pride ourselves on the quality of what we do. We are looking for a Teaching Assistant, who can work with individual and small groups of pupils, preparing classrooms and materials, and building positive relationships with pupils to promote interaction and learning. Our Teaching Assistants offer essential support to our Teachers and have the opportunity to assist in the planning and delivery of lessons in a creative and positive setting.

Previous experience of working in an SEN/ASC environment is desirable, however excellent support skills and the right motivation, personal qualities and levels of resilience are just as important. We need people who share our vision to build incredible futures by empowering vulnerable young people in the UK, to be happy and to make their way in the world.

Educated to GCSE grade C or above in Maths and English, you will be calm, engaging, resilient, enjoy working as part of a team, and be genuinely motivated by helping every pupil to reach their potential.

About us

Brick Lane School is a brand-new specialist independent school providing education for pupils with an ASD (Autism) diagnosis from age 5 up to 18. We aspire to provide the best quality teaching and learning to allow our students to grow and develop the necessary skills for them to succeed and lead fulfilling lives in the wider community and in adult life. The school benefits from a fantastic location in the vibrant and cosmopolitan heart of the East End of London and has been refurbished to a very high standard to allow us to fulfil our aspirations. In all of our staff we seek the very best in terms of commitment, compassion and effort in order to meet the needs of the students and to provide a high-quality learning environment where pupils feel safe and can flourish.

The aim of the school is to provide specialist individual support to each pupil, enabling them to reach their potential so they can live fulfilling and productive lives. We will provide the young people with as much freedom as possible while offering a safe and supervised environment. This is achievable due to the dedication and support from a range of employed professionals across the company who are passionate, reliable and understanding including dedicated education, care and clinical teams.

For over 16 years Options Autism have provided care and education to pupil, young people and adults with autism, complex needs and learning difficulties. As part of Outcomes First Group we are leading our sector in setting and delivering new approaches that provide measurable outcomes for those in our care.

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.
