Job description

Are you an experienced Teaching Assistant ready to take the next step in your career?

At Ambitious College, we are looking for a Higher Level Specialist Teaching Assistant to join our West Thames campus, supporting autistic young adults aged 16–25.

Working alongside the class Lecturer, you will play an important role in planning and delivering high-quality education, supporting learner progress and modelling excellent practice. You will also mentor and develop Learning Support Workers and other support staff, helping colleagues build their skills and confidence.

About the role

You will:

  • Support the planning, delivery and assessment of learning.
  • Develop accessible resources and personalised learning activities.
  • Deliver lessons and activities in the Lecturer's absence.
  • Monitor and contribute to learner progress and achievement.
  • Model effective strategies for supporting autistic learners, including communication, engagement, independence and positive behaviour support.
  • Mentor and provide practical guidance to support staff.
  • Support colleagues to implement individual learner plans and strategies.
  • Work collaboratively with Lecturers, therapists and other professionals.
  • Promote high expectations, independence and participation.
  • Maintain high standards of safeguarding, health and safety and professional practice.

About you

We are looking for someone with strong practical experience in education who is ready to take on greater responsibility.

You will have:

  • Significant experience working with young people, ideally autistic learners or those with additional needs.
  • A strong understanding of effective teaching and learning.
  • Experience adapting learning to meet individual needs.
  • The confidence to support or deliver lessons.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • The ability to model best practice and mentor colleagues.
  • A positive, person-centred approach and high expectations for learners.
  • A commitment to safeguarding and promoting young people's welfare.

Experience of working with autistic young people is highly desirable, but we welcome candidates with strong transferable skills and a genuine commitment to developing their specialist practice.

Why join Ambitious College?

At Ambitious College, we believe autistic young adults should have the opportunity to develop their skills, build confidence and prepare for a fulfilling adult life.

You'll join a passionate and skilled team where your experience can make a real difference — while developing your own specialist and leadership skills.

If you're ready to lead by example, develop others and make a greater impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Ambitious College and help us transform the lives of autistic young adults.
