Special Needs Teaching Assistants, full time and part time options available.
Zen Educate is looking for a range of special needs teaching assistants to take on either long-term or short-term contract work for specialist schools in Bristol and the wider area. Much of this work would involve supporting students on a 1:1 basis, with a diverse range of needs including autism, MLD, SLD, SEMH, PMLD, and more.
We are interested in candidates with experience in special needs, which can come from working in a school or through other avenues such as care, youth work, or social work. While most students may not require personal care, some placements may necessitate it, so being open to this is desirable. Essential skills include the ability to manage behaviors associated with children's diagnoses, requiring empathy and patience.
While being a driver is advantageous, it is not essential, and we welcome candidates who rely on public transport. Zen Educate seeks individuals who are consistent and can commit to their roles, as these children may struggle with change, making reliability crucial.
To work with children, an enhanced DBS on the update service is required, either one you already possess or a willingness to apply for a new one.
Whether you are looking for 2 days or 5 days, get in touch to see what we can offer you.
