Working hours: Monday-Friday, 08:30 - 15:20 (term time only)
We are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for a 1:1 teaching assistant to make a genuine impact by supporting pupils who face challenges in thriving within mainstream education or special schools.
About the school:
The school serves as a teaching base for pupils aged 11 - 16 who have been excluded from school or are at risk of exclusion. Students follow a secondary-style curriculum with a strong focus on the core subjects, complemented by alternative learning opportunities. These include hands-on experiences such as learning outside the classroom and vocational, work-based training programs.
About the role:
As a 1:1 teaching assistant, you’ll play a vital role in supporting students on a one-to-one basis, helping them access education and participate in a variety of activities both inside and outside of the classroom. The role is diverse, engaging, and highly rewarding.
* You will support the students with both their academic studies and social, emotional development.
* You will help the students engage in their personalised timetables, which will involve taking them offsite to engage in an outreach program. This could include visits to a local farm, sports centre or museum.
* Promote the safeguarding of all children, ensuring they feel safe and well supported.
* Manage behaviour effectively and meet students' needs in line with their EHCPs.
About you:
We welcome applications from individuals with relevant experience. You could be an experienced teaching assistant or have worked as a support worker for individuals with additional needs. You may be a talented sports coach with an abundance of enthusiasm for supporting young people. Whatever your background, the non-negotiable is that you have a real passion for working with young people with additional needs!
* Proactive, resilient, and willing to get ‘stuck in’.
* Has a good sense of humour and loves working as part of a team.
* Able to engage children in their learning.
* Incredibly adaptable and flexible - things can change very quickly!
* Build strong, positive relationships with children, staff, and parents/carers.
* You must have a full UK driving licence and access to your own car as you will be transporting students for off-site activities.
