The Garibaldi School is a successful, popular 11-18 school which serves its community well by providing a first-rate education for all its students.  We are a growing and over-subscribed school with ‘Leading Edge Status’.  Our latest Ofsted inspection classified us as a ‘Good’ School.  An APTGO review judged the SEND provision to be outstanding.

We have created a safe environment where students can feel comfortable, well supported and confident.  Our philosophy is based on developing pride in our students for themselves, the school and their community. They are encouraged to have respect for each other and the staff that support them.  We expect all students to aim high and achieve well and for staff to be the ultimate best they can be.

We are looking to appoint a Teaching & Learning Assistant to join our Student Support team. You will share an understanding that all members of staff have a collective responsibility for engendering a culture of success and a belief that all students can achieve, with a focus on ensuring that students with SEND achieve well.

This is a great opportunity for you to join a forward-thinking school. Opportunities are provided for you to develop and make a difference to the lives of young people.

The Garibaldi School is part of the Nova Education Trust.  We work in collaboration with the Trust to bring our staff the very best professional benefits. There are also opportunities to work in the wider school community and family of schools.
