Starting at 8:30am and finishing at 3:30pm,
this role is for a full time (term time only) Teaching Assistant role
in:
* Primary/Secondary SEN
- Working with 2 - 18 year olds with special educational
needs.
Temp to Perm (12 weeks probation).
About the role:
SEN classes with a range of complex needs,
some children are non-verbal but communicating through gesture and
their behaviour so staff need to be able to interpret what they see as
communication and work out how to solve.
Learning in the lower years looks like playing and engaging in
activities set out indoors and outdoors, there will be some 1:1
learning set out on the plan to achieve with children whilst they
engage in their play. Learning in the higher years will have students
working and making independent choices to strive towards success, with
the assistance of their TAs and Teacher to get them reaching their
full potential.
Staff need to be able to look at what it
is aimed for the children to learn and use their initiative to be able
to support the children to engage in this through their play.
Monday to Friday, Term Time only, 8:30 - 3:30, £75 per
day. Working inset days are paid.
Candidates will need to have:
Good
initiative – can see when children are putting things in mouth, risk
assess environment constantly, removing items that are dangerous,
Primary: Be animated and not afraid to get stuck in and
involved in being able to sing songs, model playing with different
toys, use initiative to support children transitioning around from
place to place i.e. can you follow my leader, use theme songs as
motivators, use animated language like a Cbeebies presenter.
Be resilient - along with the joys of working with children,
there will be challenges with behaviour. Patience, understanding and
following the behaviour policies are key to developing behaviour
management skills.
Be able to read a plan and interpret the
learning and liaise closely with the class teacher. Supply reflective
feedback about the children worked with at the end of the day to the
teacher. Be a great role model to your pupils.
