Secondary Teaching Assistants Required
Zen Educate is looking for teaching assistants to take on full-time work supporting students in secondary schools in the Gloucester area. This work would see you working with students on a 1:1 basis. Students will often have additional learning needs, so they may be on the autistic spectrum, have ADHD, or MLD, to name a few. Working hours are 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday, and term time only.
We are looking for people who see the value in supporting and working with teenagers, helping them excel in their learning, and equipping them with the skills to become independent once they leave school. You will need to be good with behaviour management, consistent in your approach, and have lots of empathy regarding what students may be struggling with.
Good teaching assistants are reliable and good communicators. Students with additional needs are more sensitive to change, so it's important that they have the support that helps maintain routine as well as build a rapport with someone they feel comfortable with.
You will need to have experience with special needs and ideally have school experience, although this is not essential, and we can consider those who have worked with children in other capacities.
In return, Zen can offer competitive rates of pay, free online training, and an online platform to help manage your calendar and work schedule. In order to work with children, you will need to hold an enhanced DBS on the update service.
