Teaching Assistant

We are looking for versatile, resilient and committed Teaching Assistants, who can adapt their practice wherever necessary to support across all key stages. The successful candidate will work alongside the class teacher, assisting the children with their work and supporting with pupil behaviour while establishing good relationships with pupils, acting as a role model and responding to individual needs.

The successful candidate will ideally have previous experience supporting in a classroom setting, have a Level 2 qualification (or equivalent), however this isn't mandatory providing you possess the following characteristics:
Resilience - We support some of the most vulnerable children in society who have varying degrees of emotional behavioural difficulties, autism, ADHD and associated difficulties so there will be times where your resilience is challenged.
Communication - Communicating with our young people is vital to understand their needs. Good teamwork and communication plays a key part in ensuring important information is relayed to other staff.
Organisation - Strong organisational skills are important to support the class teacher and young people with educational activities
Caring - Our young people require the best care we can offer. If you are a naturally caring and compassionate person, this is the role for you.
Attentive - No two tasks will be the same so being attentive to understand them and identify areas where we can support is important.

Our benefits include:
Exclusive access to reward and discount scheme
Comprehensive induction
Commitment to your ongoing training and career progression
Pension scheme
Paid for enhanced DBS
Wellbeing support
Cycle to work scheme and more!
