How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four*? 

Our colleagues’ wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we’re always looking for new ways to improve everyone’s work/life balance. We’re taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, meaning that you could be working one day less a week (or equivalent). 

If the trial is a success, we’ll be rolling the 4DWW out across the Group – so there’s never been a more exciting time to join #teamOFG!

About the Role 

As a Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting the educational and developmental needs of our students. You’ll work closely with teachers and other support staff to create a positive, engaging, and inclusive learning environment.

You’ll be providing tailored support to individual students or small groups, helping them access the curriculum and encouraging independence, confidence, and success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the class teacher/tutor in delivering high-quality education for all students.
  • Assist with the implementation of school policies and procedures, ensuring a consistent and effective learning experience.

  • Help manage classroom equipment and resources, reporting any maintenance needs as necessary.
  • Contribute to the organisation of the classroom, including student groupings, displays, and learning materials, with consideration for the needs of students with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs.

We’re seeking individuals who are passionate about education and are committed to helping children and young people thrive.

Ideal candidates will have:

  • Patience, resilience, and a proactive mindset
  • Experience in an educational or residential setting (desirable but not essential)
  • A willingness to learn and develop within the role

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people, helping them achieve their potential in a nurturing and supportive environment.

If you are enthusiastic, compassionate, and eager to contribute to a team that values inclusivity, growth, and resilience, we would love to hear from you.
