We have two sites; one in Shepperton (PMLD, SLD, associated Autism) and one in Virginia Water (CSCN, ASD).

Manor Mead School Shepperton requires an experienced person who has lots of energy and enthusiasm to support the educational and care needs of the special children attending our school. Senior Teaching Assistants are required to be in work from 8.50 am to 3.30 pm and normally work under the direction of the class teacher, plus an additional 1hour 40 minutes during the week (classroom preparation of teaching resources). This time includes the 20 minutes allocated for the weekly team meeting. In the absence of the Class Teacher from the classroom the Senior Teaching Assistant should assume responsibility for the class group. This is reflected in the pay.

Manor Mead School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Following the procedures recommended to safeguard children, we will be taking up references if you are shortlisted for an interview. The successful applicant will be required to undertake a DBS check.
