Five Education requires a one-to-one Teaching Assistant to work within an SEN base in a mainstream primary school in Bristol. This school has a strong caring ethos towards staff and pupils. They need dedicated people to join their staff team, to work with their pupils in a supportive role.
The Teaching Assistant role requires patience, adaptability, hard work, and determination. Previous experience working in schools is desirable but not essential.
The TA will work 1:1 with children who have SEN (Special Educational Needs) and SEMH (Social Emotional Mental Health) needs. Therefore, if your career background is in care or support work, then we can discuss your transferable skills. Children at this school may have ADHD, ASC (Autism) and Learning Difficulties.
The person chosen will be able to work the school hours (8:30-15:30) 5 days a week. They will establish rapport quickly with children and be willing to learn about SEND teaching techniques.
If you can show resilience and keep trying with children who find school challenging, then we want to hear from you. Please get in touch for an informal chat.
