Teaching Assistant

Salary: £26,000 per year

Job description.

Teaching assistant required for an independent school specialising in the EBD and SEN sector. Every day is different and this job offers both a rewarding and challenging environment.

The school has an excellent senior management team offering support and training on a continuous basis. Experience with EBD or SEN would be advantageous but not essential. You must have some previous experience of behavioural methods and ideally sport.

Our client’s school is a key element of an emotionally-literate and therapeutic community which provides a nurturing and robust education for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties, as well as a range of other associated learning and attachment-based barriers to learning.

You will be part of a small, specialised and dedicated team which is committed to providing a safe and inclusive learning environment where everyone is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential; from Functional Skills to GCSE.

Due to the nature of this vacancy all applicants would be required to obtain a DBS check.
