Teaching Assistant – permanent position for predominately SEN 1:1 support in the first instance

Scale 3 Points 5-6 £10.01-£10.21 per hour according to experience

32.5 hours per week, term-time only plus 5 PD days 

We are a happy and successful school with a reputation of caring well for our children.  It is fundamentally important to us that you are able to form effective relationships with children and adults, that you want the best for each and every child and that you are a self-motivated hard worker. 

In the first instance you will work predominately on a 1:1 basis with one SEN child. The post requires a talented individual who is flexible, creative and dedicated to supporting children with special educational needs.  The post may evolve into a more generalised teaching assistant position.

A TA qualification or equivalent would be desirable and ideally the applicant should have experience in dealing with children with complex needs. The individual is going to be expected to work with a range of external agencies and teams to ensure the best provision is delivered. You must be committed to building upon children’s individual strengths and knowledge, be a passionate and reflective practitioner and be able to demonstrate a strong commitment to the life of the school.
