Job Description:
New Directions Education is seeking a dedicated Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) Teaching Assistant for a 'Good' rated SEND school located in Huyton.
This long-term role, starting immediately, requires a compassionate and skilled individual to support children with Autism (ASD) and Complex Learning Difficulties (CLD). The successful candidate will work closely with students to create a positive, nurturing environment, helping them navigate their unique challenges and reach their full potential. This is an excellent opportunity for someone committed to making a meaningful impact in the field of special education.
Responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to:
* Have excellent communication skills.
* Be able to build strong relationships with students and staff.
* Be encouraging and supportive.
* Have a positive attitude towards teaching and aiding children's development.
* Ensure the safety and well-being of the student.
Although the role is based around education support, due to the children's personal needs and behaviours, they require consistent mentoring, motivating, and advising, as well as some counselling so their well-being can remain stable, allowing them to achieve much more in their education and work towards a more independent future.
Behaviours displayed by the children can be challenging, so applicants must be prepared to practice de-escalation and calming techniques, as well as maintaining an empathetic approach and understanding that behaviours stem from other problems. Candidates from care, sports, psychology, criminology, sociology, and youth work backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Job Specification:
* Have experience working with children or adults with additional needs.
* Able to support children of all abilities.
* Have a positive and ambitious attitude towards learning.
What New Directions Education Ltd offers:
* A dedicated and expert Account Manager.
* Regular and varied supply work.
* Competitive rates of pay.
* Potential long-term teaching roles.
* Full compliance with the Agency Workers Regulation (AWR).
* A network of branches across the UK.
* Preferred supplier to more than 20 boroughs across the UK.
* Respected reputation across the education and recruitment industry.
We are fully committed to the protection of children and vulnerable adults. All applicants must undertake a full enhanced DBS (formerly CRB) check.
New Directions Education Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
