We’re working with a growing, all-age specialist school for pupils with autism in Maidenhead who are looking to appoint three Teaching Assistants to join their dedicated team this September.

The school offers a highly supportive and structured environment where therapeutic approaches and excellent teaching go hand-in-hand to help pupils achieve their full potential.

The pupils here all have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition, and the school uses a range of specialist strategies including ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), Verbal Behaviour, Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy. Every pupil has an individualised learning plan, and there’s a big emphasis on teamwork – teachers, therapists, TAs and parents all work closely together to help each child succeed.

About the Role:
  • Full-time, term-time only work
  • The chance to work closely with a multi-disciplinary team including ABA specialists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists
  • Regular training and CPD focused on autism support and behaviour strategies
  • Supportive leadership and an opportunity to be part of shaping a growing and ambitious school
What the school is looking for:
  • People with energy, patience and a genuine desire to make a difference
  • A positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn new strategies
  • Experience working with children or young people with special needs (desirable but not essential – attitude and commitment are key!)
  • Someone ready to work hard and be part of a collaborative, nurturing team
The role will involve:
  • Supporting pupils with autism in both 1:1 and small group settings
  • Helping with communication, social skills, emotional regulation and learning
  • Following behaviour support plans and communication programmes
  • Working closely with teaching staff and therapists to deliver tailored learning
Safeguarding and Compliance at Supply Hive is a top priority. All candidates undergo enhanced DBS checks and safeguarding measures to ensure the well-being of students. We offer full assistance to make sure everything is in place before you start.

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role as well as the Right to Work in the UK. All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay.
