Teaching Assistant (1:1 Support)
Haywards Farm School (Amegreen Education, Amegreen Children’s Services)

Berkshire/ Hampshire Boarder (RG7)
Up to £25,000 per year
Permanent | Term Time Only
About Haywards Farm School
Haywards Farm School is a small, outstanding independent specialist school in West Berkshire, supporting up to 34 pupils.
We work with children and young people who have a range of needs, including learning difficulties, autism (ASD), and social, emotional and mental health needs. Many of our pupils have experienced disrupted education and benefit from consistent, relational support to help them re-engage with learning, routines and school life.
Our approach focuses on building trust, developing confidence and creating the conditions for every child to succeed.
About Stable Futures
Stable Futures, part of Amegreen Children's Services, is a specialist Alternative Provision offering Equine & Animal Assisted and Outdoor Learning programmes. Through therapeutic engagement with animals and an alternative curriculum including PSHE, Art & Design, Horticulture, Culinary Skills and Careers guidance, pupils build confidence, emotional regulation and engagement with learning. A dedicated forest school site adds hands-on bushcraft experiences, helping young people reconnect with education and develop the skills for school life.
Discover the Stable Futures provision and what makes it a truly special place to work.
The Role
This is a unique opportunity for an energetic, compassionate Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a named student at the start of their school journey.
Initially based full-time within the Stable Futures provision, you will help the student develop the social, emotional and behavioural foundations to become "school ready" - supporting them to feel safe, build trust, improve attendance and grow in confidence.
Over time, you will support a gradual transition into Haywards Farm School, working closely with the Stable Futures team, school staff and therapists to ensure a consistent, holistic approach aligned with the student's EHCP outcomes.
Patience, consistency and emotional intelligence are essential. This role plays a vital part in helping a young person take their first steps back into education.
