Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support the learning of a pupil with special educational needs. You will be tenacious and committed to supporting the needs of individual pupils whilst being an excellent team player and communicator.
The role of the successful candidate will include providing help with learning tasks; feeding back to class teachers on progress made; encouraging the pupil to take responsibility for their own learning and promoting the use of strategies to support the pupil to aspire to achieve their goals. Previous experience of working with pupils with different abilities would be an advantage, but experience is not essential as relevant training will be given. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in working with children with special educational needs.
The total number of hours per week is 30, with a working pattern of Monday to Friday 8:40 am to 3:30 pm (including a 50-minute unpaid break). The post is temporary as it is subject to the continued attendance of the child and/or the result of any special needs or funding review.
We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity and access for all, irrespective of age, background, race, gender, religion, ability, disability, or sexuality. We welcome applications for employment from the whole community.

About Chulmleigh College
Chulmleigh College is a successful and ambitious rural secondary school with a strong reputation for high standards. The progress of our pupils is consistently amongst the best in the region.. In 2024 our provisional Progress 8 Figure of +0.81 places us in the top 5% of schools nationally.
The College was totally rebuilt a few years ago, with the completed buildings opening in 2017. Numbers have grown substantially in recent years, from 500 to the current roll of 750, and most year groups are oversubscribed; due to both our excellent reputation and the College’s successful transport service, which brings in approximately 25% of our pupils from outside the school catchment area.
We aim to create ambition and inspiration and want our young people to achieve all that they can in a safe, caring and well-disciplined environment. We commit ourselves to providing a learning experience which ensures high challenge, inspires, and provides both the range of qualifications and the start in life which will last forever. We aim for our young people to have the foundation and independence they need to make the progress they are capable of, building resilience for their future lives.
As a school we value courtesy, hard work and respect, and set high standards of behaviour; promoting self-discipline, resilience, responsibility and working together as a community.
We offer a broad and rich curriculum, enhanced by excellent extra-curricular activities; our outdoor education in the form of Ten Tors and Duke of Edinburgh is particularly strong. As well as having high academic achievement, we also have a proud record in sport, music, drama and art.
Our pupils read an astonishing amount of literature and develop themselves by making the most of the array of opportunities available. This is all possible because teaching and support staff create the best opportunities for our pupils. We are very proud of our team, who work hard to make our school a happy place where we learn together in a formal, warm environment. We are also proud of the excellent relationships we have with our pupils, families and friends within the community.
Chulmleigh is a Saxon hilltop market town in North Devon, near the Mid Devon border. It lies near the banks of the Little River Dart, and is surrounded by rolling hills, woods and farmland. With Exmoor and the North Devon coast to its north, and Dartmoor and the city of Exeter to its south, Chulmleigh is in a beautiful part of the county and is easily accessible from all other areas.
