Those Huge Small Victories

At Bridge Staffing Agency, we match compassionate professionals with environments where they can build rewarding, impactful careers. We are proud to support Witherslack Group in finding a resilient, dedicated Teaching and Learning Assistant for Broadbeck School in Bradford.

In this role, success is measured by the small, positive changes we make every day. For our young people, navigating a tough day or simply sitting through a lesson can be a massive milestone. We call these huge small victories. While they may seem small on the surface, they accumulate to make a truly life-changing difference.

One of the Best Environments in SEND

Broadbeck School is built on the principles of true community, support, and inclusion. Located at the heart of a vibrant residential community in Yorkshire, the school has recently been recognized as "Good" by Ofsted.

Broadbeck serves as a vital sanctuary for young people who have previously struggled to integrate into local settings, offering them a genuine place to belong, progress, and contribute. Here, education, care, and therapy staff work hand-in-hand to create an environment of unparalleled stability.

Your Role: Get Out What You Put In

Supporting children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, you will be there to help them learn, develop their unique abilities, and raise their self-esteem.

What you will bring to the classroom:

A "Can-Do" Attitude: You are a natural team player who rolls up your sleeves to support pupils and colleagues alike.
A True Connection: A genuine passion for supporting children to learn and an understanding of the profound impact it has on their futures.
Collaborative Spirit: The enthusiasm and expertise to support the classroom teacher and work closely alongside our in-house therapists.
Experience: Ideally, you have prior experience working in a classroom setting. However, if you don't, full specialist training will be provided!

What We Do For You

Your hard work and commitment will be rewarded with the best salary and benefits package in the education sector:

Work-Life Balance: Full school holidays to ensure you rest, recover, and recharge.
Health & Well-being: Comprehensive medical cover allowing you to claim back the costs of dentist and optician appointments, alongside a host of online well-being tools and an Employee Assistance Programme.
Financial Perks: Matched contributory pension scheme (up to 5%), high-street retail discounts, and a £1,000 "Recommend a Friend" bonus scheme.
Career Growth: A full induction and ongoing on-the-job training. For those interested in development, the majority of the group's leaders and headteachers are promoted from within.
Flexible Benefits: Tailor your package by increasing or decreasing options like life insurance to suit your lifestyle.
