Autism Support Assistant - Wantage

Do you want a job where you can make a genuine difference every day?

We are looking for a kind, enthusiastic and committed Autism Support Assistant to join our specialist school in Wantage.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships with children and young people and wants to help them develop their confidence, independence and skills for life.

What will you be doing?

As an Autism Support Assistant, you'll work closely with our teaching team to provide personalised support to students throughout the school day.

Your day could include:

Supporting students on a 1:1 or small-group basis.

Delivering targeted interventions designed around individual needs.

Supporting communication, social interaction, emotional regulation and independence.

Helping students access lessons and take part in school life.

Encouraging students to develop new skills and become as independent as possible.

Recording and celebrating progress, however big or small.

What we're looking for in an Autism Support Assistant:

We're looking for someone who genuinely cares about making a difference.

You might already have experience working with autistic children or young people, perhaps in a school, care setting, nursery, college or community environment. Or you may be looking for your first opportunity in specialist education.

Why work with us?

Working in a specialist school is incredibly rewarding. You'll get to know your students well and see the difference that consistent, individualised support can make.

You'll be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, creativity and a child-centred approach, with opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues and develop your own skills.
