As the largest education supplier of temporary staff, Teaching Personnel are constantly seeking new candidates to work in schools across the UK, in particular, across the Lancashire area. Specifically, this role is to begin at Easter and is due to continue for the entirety of the academic year. The reason for this is as follows, quoted directly from the Head teacher: ‘We are seeking an experienced teaching assistant to work with a young child who is joining us at Easter – the child comes from a socially deprived background and is currently in care. The child possesses challenging behaviour traits and will be physically and verbally aggressive towards children and possibly staff. It is essential that the applying candidates have experience of working alongside individuals who can be very challenging, candidates who are not phased by negative attitudes.’
With this in mind, Teaching Personnel are looking to shortlist a number of experienced and qualified teaching assistants who can interview with the Head teacher and SENCO as early as next week with the view to starting the role from October. The role will be full-time school working hours – 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM with a ½ hour welfare cover. You must be able to commit for the entirety of the role and be happy to take up additional working hours depending on transition work with the child and out of school meetings.
The school is located on the outskirts of DARWEN and tends to fall in a socially deprived background. There are a number of children in school who have special educational needs and challenging behaviour, so it is important to be able to manage behaviour on different levels.
If you are interested in learning more about the role then please send through an updated CV and your availability for interviewing.
All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see the FAQs on the Teaching Personnel website for details.
