Are you a Life Changer? Do you want to transform the life of a child?
Compass Community prioritises children through its therapeutic, innovative approach. Our values are rooted in integrity, courage and care, ensuring meaningful impact. We listen empathetically, challenge thoughtfully, and collectively build solutions for children in need.
This is our mission—but we’d love for you to be part of it.
Who We Are
Our children come from diverse backgrounds, each with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs (examples: Autism, ADHD, communication difficulties). Many also have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
We’re a trauma- and attachment-informed organisation. All staff receive extensive therapeutic training and support, with a collaborative decision-making model centring the child at every level. Our multidisciplinary teams—educators, therapists, parents, and local authorities—work together to drive outstanding outcomes for our students.
The Role: Teaching Assistant
Every day is unique in our school. Our children need specialised, adaptive adults who can support them in managing complex behaviours.
