Teaching Assistant (Level 1) & Midday Supervisor (Full & Part Time)

We are currently looking for Level 1 Teaching Assistants to join our successful Achievement Support team, supporting the learning and wellbeing of SEND and Pupil Premium students. We have one full time and one part time (3 days per week) position available. In this role you will help students to understand instructions and support the independent learning and inclusion of all pupils. You will support teaching staff with behaviour management and keeping pupils on task, as well as supporting pupils with their social and emotional well-being, escalating where necessary. The successful candidate will have previous experience of working or volunteering with young people in some capacity. The post is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to gain experience working with secondary age children and would be an ideal first step for someone considering a future career in teaching. You will work 5.5 hours per day in this role (plus a daily 25-minute unpaid break), term time plus 5 days per year. 3 days will be for staff training days in September and January. The remaining 2 days will be for SEN review meetings and training and will be agreed in advance with your line manager. The school uses Teaching Assistants to carry out Midday Supervision. This has been particularly successful in managing student behaviour and helps to build positive relationships with students. Successful applicants will also be required to work 45 minutes per day as a Midday Supervisor; a separate contract will be issued for each post.

The successful candidate will have previous experience of working or volunteering with young people in some capacity. Successful candidates will require a good educational background, with a GCSE (or equivalent) qualification in English Language.
