Would you like to make a real difference to a child's school experience?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a caring, enthusiastic and patient Individual Needs Assistant to join our wonderful team at The Nest, our newly opened autism facility at Chailey St Peter's CE Primary School, part of the Bluebell Federation.

Opened at Easter 2026, The Nest is a calm, nurturing and homely environment for up to 12 children with autism. It is a very special place where children are supported to grow in confidence, develop their independence, feel valued and truly belong.

Our children are at the heart of everything we do, and we are looking for someone who shares our passion for helping every child achieve their potential, however big or small their steps may be.

About the role

Hours: 8.30am – 3.30pm, Monday to Friday

Working alongside our experienced and supportive team, you will help provide a safe, positive and engaging learning environment, supporting children with their individual learning, communication, emotional and social needs.

Every day in The Nest is different, and whilst working with children with additional needs can sometimes be challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding. From celebrating those small but significant achievements to watching a child grow in confidence and independence, you will have the opportunity to make a genuine difference every day.

Your role will include:

  • Supporting children with their individual learning and development needs
  • Helping children develop their communication, social skills, confidence and independence.
  • Providing a calm, patient and nurturing approach to supporting children's emotional and sensory needs.
  • Working closely with teachers and other support staff to provide personalised learning opportunities.
  • Supporting children during playtimes, lunchtimes and other school activities.
  • Celebrating children's achievements and helping them feel safe, happy and included within our school community.

We would love to hear from someone who:

  • Is kind, caring, patient and genuinely passionate about supporting children with additional needs.
  • Has a positive, flexible and enthusiastic approach.
  • Can build trusting and supportive relationships with children, staff and families.
  • Understands that every child is unique and that progress looks different for everyone.
  • Can remain calm, understanding and reassuring when children need additional support.
  • Enjoys working as part of a close and supportive team.
  • Is willing to learn, develop new skills and embrace our inclusive approach.
  • Supports the Christian ethos and values of our school.

What can we offer you?

  • The opportunity to work in a very special, newly established provision where you can make a real difference.
  • A friendly, welcoming and supportive school community.
  • A dedicated and experienced team who work closely together to support one another.
  • Opportunities for training, professional development and gaining valuable experience in supporting children with autism.
  • A rewarding role where even the smallest achievements can bring the greatest sense of pride.

We warmly encourage prospective applicants to visit The Nest, meet our team and see firsthand what makes our provision such a special place to work.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
