Hays Education is working in partnership with a two-form entry primary school based in Tameside, Greater Manchester to appoint a qualified Teaching Assistant to work 1:1 with a Year 3 pupil with ASD. This is a full-time Teaching Assistant job and will involve providing a mixture of class-based support and separate targeted intervention work with a pupil who has been statemented for quite severe autism.
If you have strong behaviour management skills, and experience of working as a TA in KS2, then this job will prove a challenging yet rewarding placement for you. The head teacher is looking to appoint a qualified Teaching Assistant due to the restructuring of roles within the school. The position is based on availability of funding, so you will be employed on an ongoing basis. The successful candidate will be required to manage the behaviour of the pupils and use effective strategies to keep them focused in class. You will use visual aids to direct them throughout the day and effectively monitor progress alongside the SENCO and class teacher.
The appointed TA will also be expected to take part in planning activities based on class teachers' planning to ensure they suit the needs of the pupil. To be considered for this Teaching Assistant job, you will hold an NVQ Level 3 or equivalent qualification in Teaching & Learning. You will have at least 6 months' reference-able experience working in a similar role in the last 2 years. You will be motivational, with a proven record of managing challenging behaviour and encouraging progress in pupils. Successful appointment is dependant upon obtaining an enhanced DBS check.
This is a large school with a range of different students and support staff, making it a great opportunity for further professional development. We also offer free online professional development training and a holiday / pension scheme. You will also receive £250 in high street shopping vouchers when any referred candidate works for a total of twenty days.
