The Role:
A local private special school (ages 4 to 16) located near Exeter is looking for Teaching Assistants across all year groups. The school is an SEMH specialist, so provides expert support to children across a variety of severe and complex needs, including those that are non-verbal.
This specialist school will provide you with excellent opportunities for professional development, and you will learn and progress quickly. Pay starts at £100 a day and they offer temp to perm contracts for successful applicants. They are looking for full-time staff, and there’s a real culture of excellence and ambition to achieve the best results for the children. Hours are 8.30am-4:30pm.
This role is very active, so they are looking for really passionate, motivated and enthusiastic TA’s who have a can-do attitude and will go above and beyond for the children. Experience is by no means required, so this is a great opportunity if you’re looking to kick start a career in special education or just develop your existing skills further.
The ideal SEN Teaching Assistant should:
- A genuine passion for supporting young people with SEN
- Be flexible, proactive and patient
- Be able to communicate effectively within a team
- Be resilient, passionate and driven to go above and beyond for children of all needs
- Be open to providing personal care
- Have a Background in Education, Care, Psychology or Drama, as these are very transferable.
- Training or experience in non-verbal communication is preferred, but a willingness to learn is essential. For example Makaton, PECS
