We are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to join our team. For the nature of the job in question the role may be better suited to a male Teaching Assistant due to the needs of the student, however this is not essential. 

 The role would include assistance and some support with accessing the toilet.

The role is varied and the successful candidate will support students with their learning whilst being mindful and tailoring support to meet their educational needs.    The role will involve predominantly working with student(s) on a 1-1 basis, albeit working with small groups of students may also be an aspect of the role.  Working within both the classroom environment and the Aspire Centre, delivering individual and small group academic and pastoral programmes and interventions where appropriate will be key aspects of this role. This particular role is being advertised with the intention that the successful candidate would provide consistent and appropriate support for students with identified educational needs.

Demonstrating the ability to form and maintain strong positive relationships with students with a wide range of needs is essential to the role. Previous experience of working within a school environment and supporting students, particularly with specific educational needs is important.  A willingness to be flexible in your approach and the ability to carry out all duties in line with school expectations is essential. 

All staff are expected to act as effective role models and be prepared to demonstrate the school core values and be able to support students in an appropriate and professional manner.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post requires an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) barred list check will also be completed.
