Permanent - Term Time

Our client is recruiting for talented Teaching Assistants and Learning Support Assistants for their outstanding (Ofsted) School and SEN College who want to make a real difference! 

The age range of our pupils is 2 – 25 years old. Experience in a Teaching Assistant or Learning support role in an SEN environment with children with complex needs is preferred but not essential. If you are passionate about providing learning and support, have the right attitude and share their values, then they’d like to hear from you!

These are term time permanent roles and will involve providing daily learning, personal care and one to one support for their pupils inside the classroom and on site. Hours of work are Monday to Friday 8.30am – 4pm (35 hours per week) 

Some students may present challenging behaviour, so similar experience is advantageous but not essential, although all candidates should be comfortable working in this type of environment.

These are physically demanding roles with a requirement to keep up with the active students who like to run, push wheelchairs, use the adapted bikes and go in the swimming pool.

Their benefits
