SEND Teaching Assistant

ABC Teachers have an exciting opportunity for a Teaching Assistant to work within a SEND provision in Coventry on a one-year contract to commence immediately (pending safeguarding checks). The school are looking to take on a new member of the team to work in one of the following classes:

- PMLD

- Autism

- MLD

- SEMH

- SpLD

The school caters for children aged 11-19 who have a variety of special educational needs. They are happy to accommodate the successful candidate in a class that best suits their skill set as well as offering the support for someone who is passionate about moving from a mainstream to SEND setting.

Due to the amazing on-site facilities there is the opportunity to not only support the children in classroom-based settings but also to help them take part in activities at the swimming pool, farm and woodland.

This role is an amazing opportunity to join a friendly team of staff whose priority is to ensure the best out of the children in their care. You will have the full support and guidance of the excellent SLT during your time at the school and there are also opportunities for a permanent role for the right candidate.

What the school are looking for:

- Experience supporting children with SEND in a educational/care setting or experience working in mainstream school setting and looking to make the move into SEND.

- To get the most out of the pupils in your care, it is essential that you are passionate and engaging in the classroom.

- It’s essential that you are also happy to engage in the outdoor learning as this nurturing environment is essential for pupil’s progression to independence.

- It would be desirable to have experience with SPLD tools, such as PECS/Makaton but this is not essential for the role 

- To clear for work, we require that you reference the last two years of employment in full.
