A brand-new, progressive SEND school in South Gloucestershire within a 15 minute drive of Chepstow (just on the other side of the M48 Severn Bridge with easy access from the motorway) is growing —and they’re looking for passionate, dedicated individuals to join their team as SEND Teaching Assistants.

They specialise in supporting children and young people with autism and complex needs, offering incredible facilities and a nurturing environment where progress is celebrated every day.

A Community That Feels Like Family: Strong links with the local area mean you’ll be joining a close-knit team where collaboration and support are second nature. A Fresh Approach to SEND: The school is committed to innovation and progress, ensuring every child gets the tailored support they need—and that staff feel empowered to make a real difference.
