Primary Teaching Assistants Required
Zen Educate is currently looking to take on a number of primary teaching assistants to work in a range of primary schools in Gloucester. This will either be on a full-time or part-time basis for long-term commitments, although there will be opportunities for flexible work if this is what you require. Working hours are 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday, and term time only.
Much of the work will be supporting students with additional learning needs on a 1:1 basis, but there may also be opportunities to support small groups.
We are looking for individuals who have experience working with special needs, ideally with children who have autism, ADHD, or mental health difficulties. This experience can be from a previous school-based role or through working with children in alternative settings. As a primary teaching assistant, you will need to be flexible regarding the ages you work with and the needs of the school.
A good primary teaching assistant is reliable and consistent in their approach to working with and supporting children. You must have good communication skills, both with the students and other staff members. You will be required to follow instructions laid out by the teacher and the education healthcare plan that a student may have. Resilience is essential; you should be able to handle behavioral challenges while encouraging, nurturing, and guiding students to excel in their learning.
Zen offers competitive rates of pay, the opportunity to experience a school before considering a permanent position, free training, and a platform to share your experiences in a school through our website so others can benefit.
To work with children, an enhanced DBS on the update service is required.
