Our outstanding academy is seeking to appoint Two Teaching Assistants Level 1 to join our supportive team of TA’s in the learning and contribute to our caring ethos ensuring every pupil in our care reaches their full potential.

Pictor Academy is an outstanding school held in high regard locally and nationally. The school is for children aged 2 - 11 with special educational needs from various conditions. A large proportion of the population are children with autism. This means that they have difficulties communicating and interacting with others. They will also have difficulties with play and imagination.

We are ideally looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated applicants with experience working with young people (voluntary or paid), preferably in a school environment, who are passionate about supporting children to achieve their full potential.  

This is a rewarding and varied role where you will need a positive and flexible approach to work.  If you are looking for a change of role or are keen to further your knowledge and skill set before training to be a teacher, please get in touch. 

We can offer the successful candidate:

• An outstanding school with friendly, well-motivated and highly committed staff

• A hard-working and supportive advisory committee

• Children who make excellent progress and love coming to school

• A thriving partnership of supportive parents and stakeholders

We are strongly committed to offering our children an excellent education in partnership with their families and local communities.
