Information about the Post
We are looking to recruit a kind, patient, enthusiastic and experienced Level 3 Teaching Assistant (or equivalent experience), to support children in our school. You will work as a member of a team, supporting children with their individual teaching and learning plan as well as daily one-to-one and small group work based on the children’s specific areas of need. The work will also involve helping children access learning within their mainstream class.
You will need to be able to follow and deliver programmes planned in conjunction with the class teacher and SENDCo, as well as working on your own initiative. You will be sensitive to the needs of the pupil and support them to maximise their learning outcomes.
We care passionately about our staff, their well-being and their professional development and this is reflected in the fact that we are an enthusiastic team, committed to working collaboratively and sharing the very best practice. We are seeking ambitious candidates who are keen to develop further and as such are committed to providing excellent CPD for the development of staff. We are striving for the very best for our children and we are focussed on and passionate about learning.
We are looking for someone who is:
• experienced in delivering KS1 and KS2 phonic and basic writing skills interventions
• experienced in supporting children with social, emotional and mental health needs
• creative and innovative, especially in order to bring learning to life
• committed to team work, sharing and receiving ideas for the benefit of the children in our care
• able to work proactively, with a high level of commitment
• experienced in working within an educational setting with children (employed or as a regular volunteer)
• experienced in working with children who have additional needs
• educated to GCSE Maths and English standard (minimum Grade 4) or equivalent
We can offer you the opportunity to:
• work in a popular and forward looking school
• join a strong team environment that takes staff well-being seriously
• work with a dedicated Senior Leadership Team who want to see their staff progress and flourish in their career
• develop your skills alongside a team of dedicated and highly professional staff who are deeply committed to improving the life chances of the children in our local community
• be supported in your role by a range of school based and external expertise
• develop professionally including relevant training, where appropriate
Experience of working with children with special educational need in the areas of communication and interaction, literacy and numeracy is essential to this post. We are very committed to integration and inclusion for all our children and seek to appoint individuals who share this vision.
Visits to the school prior to interview are highly recommended and can be arranged by contacting Mrs Lough, School Business Manager Telephone: 0191 9172969.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. All posts will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure, medical and reference checks.
