Preston Bridge School is a new special school for pupils aged 6 to 19 years, based in the Paignton, Devon.    Our creative, individualised approach to learning, is centred around well-being and skills for independence.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, hard-working, teaching assistant who is open to learning a modern approach to teaching pupils with social, emotional, mental health needs.

We understand the importance of building meaningful relationships with pupils and families to nurture growth and development of relational milestones such as, building trust and sharing enjoyment. Care and making connections are at the heart of our ethos and we work hard to ensure that all staff feel cared for too.

We are strongly committed to providing high quality professional development for all our staff. As part of a new and growing group, we will be able to offer significant opportunities to work in collaboration with colleagues from across the group in order to develop innovative teaching practice.

The wellbeing of our staff is an important priority therefore we provide opportunities to ensure we value their hard work and dedication and promote a healthy work-life balance. We are constantly reviewing our practices to ensure that our staff can focus on what matters: providing a rich environment in which children and young adults can learn and thrive.

We recognise that our schools all serve their own communities and are unique, but we also insist that our schools follow Spaghetti Bridge ways of working which ensure that there are high expectations and equality of opportunity for all our pupils.
