Special Needs Teaching Assistant
We are looking for a special needs teaching assistant to work and support at a special needs school in South Gloucestershire that specializes in supporting students with mental health difficulties. This work would see the successful candidate mostly supporting on a 1:1 basis. Working hours are 8:30-3:30, Monday to Friday and term time only.
Since this role involves working with students experiencing mental health difficulties, we seek someone with resilience to challenging behaviors who can nurture and foster relationships that lead to lasting change in emotional expression. The right person will have firm boundaries and be consistent in their approach to supporting children.
We also require someone who can commit to supporting the school, as constant changes and absences can negatively impact children and their behaviors. The ideal candidate will communicate well with other staff members and follow the instructions laid out by the teacher.
Ideally, you will have experience supporting in a school setting, but we are also happy to consider candidates who have worked in a youth center or supported adults with mental health difficulties.
To work with children, you will need to have an enhanced DBS on the update service, which can be obtained as part of your application. Zen offers competitive pay and free CPD training courses.
Get in touch today if you are looking to make a significant impact on disadvantaged children.
