Teaching Assistants and Higher Level Teaching Assistants

Teaching Assistants and Higher Level Teaching Assistants are required to support students in Years 7 – 11 with statements of Special Education Need, and to take the lead responsibility for students with learning and behavioural difficulties. 

A Higher Level Teaching Assistant position can be offered to a candidate who is able to work closely with the SENCO to write and deliver reports. A high level of literacy and ability to use word and excel proficiently must be demonstrated at interview.

Teaching Assistants able to offer the delivery of Numeracy and Science lessons to small groups are particularly welcome.

All applications are welcome however these roles may particularly suit graduates hoping to progress to School Direct teacher training. The Twyford Trust is the ‘hub’ for the Ealing Teaching School Alliance and is therefore extremely experienced in supporting training and development for beginning teachers, and new and experienced teachers at all stages of their career.

Roles are up to 35 hours per week however part-time applications can be considered, particularly for three or four days per week. Exact hours per week will be discussed and agreed at interview and the salary will therefore be a pro rata figure according to the hours worked.

Successful Candidates will have: 

· Recent experience of working with secondary age children

· A sensible attitude, with the ability to be flexible, reflective and find solutions

· Energy and enthusiasm

· A commitment to the ethos of the school 

We offer: 

• Excellent relationships within a strong team
