Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with Autism, Learning Difficulties, Communication and Interaction Needs, as well as behavioural difficulties?
Do you have relevant childcare, education, health and social care experience, or experience through charity and volunteer work?
We are currently on the lookout for enthusiastic and committed SEN Teaching Assistants to join a committed and supportive team working with children and young people with a range of learning and additional needs. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in pupils’ lives, whether working in a classroom setting providing general support or working individually with pupils on a 1:1 or small group basis.
The school is an outstanding setting for children and young people with learning and additional needs, catering for both Primary and Secondary age groups. The environment offers learners the opportunity to explore and challenge their potential in every aspect. Our client is multicultural and inclusive, with a diverse complement of staff and children committed to achieving education excellence.
The school is looking to appoint dedicated and motivated individuals keen on long-term development and career progression within education. Although the role of a Teaching Assistant can be both challenging and demanding at times due to the specific needs of different children, the position is highly rewarding and can bring great joy and fulfilment when seeing learners succeed and achieve their full potential.
