Got a creative spark? This is where it makes a real difference.

We’re looking for a Teaching Assistant with a creative background, think art, drama, music, or performance, to support pupils in a dynamic classroom setting. For many students, learning clicks through creativity, and you’ll play a big part in making that happen.

• Using creative approaches to engage students in learning
• Bringing lessons to life through art, movement, or expression
• Supporting behaviour and emotional regulation in a positive way
• Working closely with teachers to adapt activities

What we’re looking for

• A background in art, drama, music, or another creative field
• A confident, energetic approach
• Someone who can think on their feet and adapt quickly
• Experience with young people or SEND is a bonus, not essential

What you’ll get

• A chance to use your creativity in a meaningful way
• Experience in a school or SEND setting
• Free CPD and training to build your skills
• Support from a consultant who gets it
