About Corby Technical School and the Role

At Corby Technical School, we believe in unique learners, unlimited ambition. Our aim is for every student to leave us ready for a successful next step, equipped with the confidence, resilience, and skills to thrive. We create an environment of high support and high challenge, rooted in an inclusive culture and a strong commitment to restorative, asset-based approaches.

Join Corby Technical School as a Level 2 Teaching Assistant and play a pivotal role in helping vulnerable learners on the SENd Register thrive. This is a dynamic, people-centred opportunity for someone who is passionate about building strong relationships and making a genuine difference every day. You’ll work alongside teachers, the SENd Team and pastoral colleagues to provide targeted in-class support, deliver 1:1 and small-group interventions, and help students build confidence, resilience and the habits they need to succeed.

We have ambition for all, and we’re looking for someone who shares that belief—someone calm, consistent and resilient, who is not averse to supporting young people who may present with challenging behaviour or non-compliance. You will help remove barriers to learning by maintaining high expectations, promoting positive behaviour and enabling students to re-engage with school life and progress towards positive futures, supported by training and a strong team culture.

Contract: Term time only, 37 hours per week

Hours: 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Thursday, 8.30am to 4.00pm Friday

Join us and be part of a team that is committed to high standards, high expectations, and high support for every learner.
