Working at Starley Hall

Starley Hall is committed to providing the highest level of care and education to the young people we look after. Protecting them from harm and providing them with a safe, nurturing and therapeutic environment is of paramount importance.

It is therefore vital that our recruitment procedures meet all the requirements contained in the existing regulatory and legal frameworks. We endeavour to meet the requirements outlined, but also work within the principle of continuous improvement, striving to evaluate and develop our procedures to ensure the highest standards are achieved.

We believe that it is imperative that the adults caring for our children and young people feel valued, and supported at work, particularly during times of increased stress when children may be presenting trauma-based behaviours.


Teaching Assistant

We are currently looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to join our team on a full-time permanent basis. We would also consider candidates interested in part-time only.

Our Teaching Assistants are involved in supporting and leading learning experiences and activities within both the BGE and the Senior Phase. All Teaching Assistants are actively involved in being part of multi-disciplinary key teams for our young people and play a vital role in delivering the highest standards of education and care to children and young people. The successful candidate will have a role in our Health and Wellbeing programme, including actively supporting our physical activity programmes, both on and off-site.

While prior experience of working within a similar role or capacity is preferred, it is not essential. You can download copies of our Job Description and Person Specification. A full driving licence is required.

All appointments are subject to a PVG scheme check and references, and a six-month probationary period. Salaries are on a six-point scale running from £21,175 to £27,807 based on a 37.5 hour working week (depending on experience/qualifications).
