Teaching Assistant

Due to the incredible success of our outstanding sister schools in Cheshire East & Staffordshire (Hopedale, Bluebell, Heather Field and Lavender Field Schools), we are bringing our innovative services to the children and families of Widnes.

Poppy Field School is a brand new special school in Widnes, offering the highest quality of holistic and therapeutic education for up to 32 children from 5 to 18 with a range of additional needs.

We are passionate about finding staff members who will join us on this exciting journey, enabling the school to grow and evolve in the way that our sister schools already have.

Pupils may have social, emotional, mental health, and/or learning difficulties, and may or may not be on the autistic spectrum.

We are seeking individuals who ‘just get’ children, have a marvellous sense of humour and who have the flexibility and determination to ensure that Poppy Field is the first choice of school for children, parents and local authorities.

Poppy Field can offer you:

- Wonderful, thriving pupils

- A happy, humorous and supportive staff team

- Excellent career progression opportunities

- A high level of support from a very experienced team

- Initial training for aspects of the role with which you are not familiar with

- The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of pupils and their families

- A comprehensive on-going training package

Poppy Field School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with current and past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
