About this role

As a Teaching Assistant within GEMS (Growing Educational Minds Successfully) at our Fitzwilliam Campus, you will support secondary-aged students to re-engage with learning, build confidence and overcome barriers to success.

Working alongside teachers, you will provide tailored support to individuals and small groups, helping students stay focused, develop positive learning habits and achieve their potential. Through patience, consistency and strong relationships, you will help create a calm, nurturing environment where every student feels safe, valued and ready to succeed.

You will work closely with colleagues, families and external professionals to provide personalised support, particularly for students with SEND, SEMH needs or those who have experienced challenges in mainstream education.
