Are you a committed and passionate Teaching Assistant looking for their next development pathway to hone their leadership skills? If so, this could be the opportunity for you. We are seeking an inspirational and resilient Senior Inclusion Teaching Assistant to join our Inclusion Department. The successful candidate will work closely with the teaching staff, supporting children with their learning and behavioural needs.

We are looking for someone with a genuine passion for education who is driven to make a difference to the lives of the children they work with.

The Weald is a high achieving, popular and oversubscribed 11-18 comprehensive school and sixth form college, situated in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, 10 minutes from Horsham, 35 minutes from Guildford and Brighton, and an hour by train to London.  The school has an excellent record of academic and pastoral achievement and we pride ourselves in creating a caring and respectful ethos where every child is important. Last summer, our A-level results placed us as the best 6th form provider in West Sussex; at GCSE our students achieved almost half a grade higher than their expected outcomes.

Applications should be made by downloading and completing our application form (please see attachments below) and emailing it to jobs@theweald.org.uk

The closing date for applications is 10am on Thursday 4 June 2026. Interviews will be held shortly after this date.
