Teaching Assistants

We are in particular keen for members to join our team who are passionate about building relationships and improving outcomes for students with autism and students with social, emotional and mental health needs. Oakwood can support you with any further training required, so if you are passionate about supporting students with complex needs, do please get in touch. If you are already experienced in these areas, we would similarly love to hear from you.

You will be joining a successful, large team, dedicated to ensuring that all students are able to access the curriculum. Continued Professional Development is highly valued at Oakwood School and we will assist you in enhancing your knowledge and skillset for the benefit of our students.
