SEN Teaching Assistant

SEN Teaching Assistant – Bury

As a Teaching Assistant with a focus on supporting children with Special Educational Needs, you truly make an enormous difference to children’s lives on a daily basis.

Do you have a desire to make a truly rewarding impact and transform the lives of children with SEN by helping them to reach their full potential?

As a Teaching Assistant at an inclusive primary school in Bury, we require you to provide support within Key Stage 1 (KS1) as soon as possible. The focus is on assisting a pupil with a diagnosis for autism and ADHD, to promote positive behaviour and improve behaviours linked to the pupil’s needs and those stemming from ACEs.

The school is seeking an SEN TA on a full-time basis; working from 8.30am-3.30pm, Monday to Friday.

On offer to you

• Access to our employee benefits scheme, Affinity Extra; offering a host of benefits and savings from an extremely wide range of retailers, utilities and services as well as days out and experiences
• Training opportunities to keep your knowledge up-to-date and to help you advance in your career
• A variety of payroll options to suit your individual circumstances
• Extremely competitive rates of pay
• Flexibility in your working schedule

What we are looking for

• Knowledge and/or experience of working with or supporting any form of Special Educational Need; experience of autism would be beneficial
• Experience of working with children is useful but not essential. Your attitude, desire to help children, knowledge and transferable skills are equally as important, sometimes more so.
• You will help to keep children safe by supporting the safeguarding of children and encouraging positive behaviour through agreed behaviour management strategies
• You will provide care and encouragement to pupils while supporting the teacher in the delivery and evaluation of learning activities
• The ability to remove barriers to learning and provide mentoring support to children.

Who this role would suit

• A qualified Teaching Assistant with knowledge of SEN or supporting challenging behaviour
• Someone with a background in Residential Support, Social Work, Mental Health Support or with similar transferable skills
• Psychology, Counselling, or Psychotherapy degree graduates (other Mental Health-related qualifications are considered)
• Individuals with knowledge and/or experience of supporting children, young people or adults with any form of additional need; either professionally or personally.
