Special Needs Teaching Assistant - Job in Cam Education & Training Jobs
* Sector: Support / IAG, Teaching Assistant
We are looking for a special needs teaching assistant to work and support at a special needs school in South Gloucestershire that specializes in supporting students with mental health difficulties. This work would see the successful candidate mostly supporting on a 1:1 basis. Working hours are 8:30-3:30, Monday to Friday, and term time only.
Since this role involves working with students facing mental health challenges, we are looking for someone with resilience to challenging behaviors and the ability to nurture and foster relationships that exhibit lasting change in how students express their emotions. The right person will have firm boundaries and be consistent in their approach to supporting children.
We are also looking for someone who can commit to supporting the school, as constant changes and absences can negatively impact children and their behaviors. The ideal candidate will be able to communicate well with other members of staff and follow the instructions laid out by the teacher.
Ideally, you will have experience supporting in a school setting, but we would also be happy to consider candidates who have worked in a youth center or supported adults with mental health difficulties.
To work with children, you will need to have an enhanced DBS on the update service, which can be done as part of your application. Zen can offer competitive pay and free CPD training courses.
Get in touch today if you are looking to make a big impact on disadvantaged children.
