The Role:

An ‘outstanding’ ofsted-rated school in Alum Rock is on the lookout for a SEN TA to work with their KS3 students. The role will be a mix of supporting students who have SEN needs and general teaching assistant support.

What’s vital to them is that the successful candidate is equipped with the attitude, experience and mannerism to work closely with SENDCO and regularly liaise with them over the progress that is being made in class. This leading Secondary school prides itself on valuing diversity, skilled individuals who are creative and passionate towards dedicating themselves to nurturing the best outcomes for the pupils.

This school has fantastic opportunities for professional development & continuous support from the senior leadership team and specialist colleagues and offers the opportunity to go ‘temp to perm’. Pay is always negotiable depending on experience, and can be up to £110 a day, especially if you can impress during a paid trial, which the school is more than happy to arrange to give you a real taste but the minimum pay we guarantee is £104 a day. Experience is very much required, and this is a great opportunity to get into a setting where you can challenge yourself and make a real difference.

The school’s hours of this role are 8.30am - 4pm.

The ideal SEN Teaching Assistant should:

• MINIMUM 1 Year experience working with children with SEN
• Level 2 or 3 TA Qualification or equivalent
• Be flexible, proactive and patient
• Be able to communicate effectively within a team
• Be resilient, passionate and driven to go above and beyond for children of all needs
