How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?

At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.

That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.

Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So, whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG.

As part of our continued growth and expansion, we are looking for full time Teaching Assistants/Classroom Assistants to join our team at New Barn School.

• Salary: £22,300.00 per annum (not pro rata)
• Location: New Barn School, The Long Barn, Welford, RG20 8HZ
• Contract: Permanent, Term Time Only
• Hours: 40 hours per week; Monday to Friday 8:30am-4:30pm (includes a 5pm finish)

We would welcome applications from both teaching assistants already within special education as well as mainstream colleagues with a passion for complex SEND.

About the role

As a Teaching Assistant, you will connect directly with the brilliant pupils and young people we care for, helping to make sure they get the very best from their education. Each individual has so much potential, and they will rely on you to guide their learning journeys.

You will help prepare learning materials and run classroom activities, with plenty of hands-on experience and some supervision too. You will take responsibility for their emotional and physical needs, supporting them to develop as individuals and engage with the world.

Supporting pupils with complex Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs is important and rewarding work. Join our dedicated team, where your expertise will shape young minds and your passion for learning will be the catalyst for success. If you're ready to make a difference, apply now and be a vital part of our educational journey!

We are committed to the safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and young people.

• Experience of working in the independent SEMH sector and with pupils with SEN (highly desirable)
• Happy to adopt a therapeutic approach to teaching and working with SEN/SEMH pupils.
• Previous experience with ASC (highly desirable)
