Do you want an exciting and rewarding role working within a team that makes a difference to young people? Are you looking to gain experience within the classroom? If so, your next role awaits you here at Falmouth School.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for highly motivated Teaching Assistants to join our staff team. You will be based at Falmouth School which is a friendly, inclusive and highly successful school of 980 students, including a growing Sixth Form. At Falmouth School, we expect the utmost diligence and commitment to learning from everyone. We feel very proud to belong to The Roseland Multi-Academy Trust, which consists of three secondary, two small primary schools and a Teaching School Hub.

These are exciting opportunities within our school and are key roles that will support the learning and education of individual students and small groups with additional needs. You will work closely with the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo), and you will join a team of passionate professionals, who are extremely supportive of each other, and who work hard to ensure that students achieve their best. 

These exciting and rewarding roles requires someone who is patient, flexible, adaptable, a team player and who is also able to show initiative, both in a class situation and with groups/individuals. The successful post holder will be required to administer first aid, assist with medical needs to a range of students including, students with physical disabilities with personal care requirements, including toileting/changing and mobility around the school.

This role suits a variety of backgrounds. If you have previously worked in education, that is advantageous, however, we see many transferrable skills from other sectors that will be relevant to your success in this role.

This is a term time only position, the successful post-holder will benefit from the school holidays although there will be a requirement to work an additional 5 days during the school year.
