TEACHING ASSISTANT L1 (casual)

Posts: Teaching Assistant L1 (Casual)

Start Date: September 2025

Pendle Community High School and College (PCHS&C) is an outstanding, co-located, community special school for students with generic learning difficulties. We have 162 students on roll (ages 11 -19), with a variety of special educational needs including autistic spectrum disorders, speech, language and communication needs, and physical, medical and/or sensory needs.

We are seeking to appoint a number of Teaching Assistants Level 1 to primarily support classes of students within school in a casual and more flexible capacity.

Pendle Community High School and College moved into new purpose-built accommodation in 2008, where it is co-located with a mainstream secondary school. Our school and college both therefore provide an exciting and enriching environment, with a range of opportunities for social and educational inclusion.

The successful candidates would be joining a highly committed and dynamic staff team making a real difference to the lives of families, carers and young people with special educational needs.

For more information about Pendle Community High School and College, please see our school website www.pchs.lancs.sch.uk and the additional information attached.
