Enrichment and Animal Care Teaching Assistant

About the role

Do you love working with animals? Are you passionate about helping young people build confidence, independence and life skills? This isn't your typical Teaching Assistant role.

At Chestnut Hill School, you'll combine your enthusiasm for animal welfare, outdoor learning and education to create unforgettable experiences for autistic young people aged 8–19.

As our Enrichment & Animal Care Teaching Assistant, you'll play a vital role in helping pupils discover new strengths, interests and possibilities beyond the traditional classroom. You'll support the delivery of enriching activities designed to develop life skills, emotional wellbeing and independence, while also taking responsibility for the care and welfare of our on-site animals.

This is a rare opportunity to combine your passion for supporting young people with your love of animals in a truly rewarding career.
