Teaching Support Assistant

Heathside School has the highest ambitions for our pupils’ intellectual and academic experience at all age levels. Our aspirations mean that we are not just looking for an outstanding Teaching Support Assistant to be a part of our team, but someone who has the enthusiasm, creativity, flexibility and energy to help the School in achieving its vision.

This post holder will be an integral part of a team that provides specialist learning support for the pupils. Under guidance of the SENCO and class teachers, the post holder will be expected to facilitate the inclusion of pupils with additional learning needs into the classroom. You will work with individual pupils and small groups within the lessons, by providing high quality, targeted support.    You will develop and maintain effective and supportive relationships with a small case load of pupils in order to support their specific learning and emotional needs and, where appropriate, deliver some 1-1 or small group interventions to meet those needs. The post holder will also assist the class teachers in providing a stimulating educational environment in which all pupils can achieve their potential.

If you are an outstanding and experienced professional, who has high expectations of yourself and others, we would be delighted to hear from you.
