What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for:

  • Someone who has experience working with children with SEND and supporting the wider staff team; ideally those with experience working with children with ASC
  • An intelligent, considered and talented individual to support children with SEND to be the best they can be
  • A warm, compassionate and driven person who won’t give up on children
  • Someone who is equipped with the personality and skills to build relationships with children, staff and parents
  • An ability to use initiative and complete their work to a high standard
  • An ambitious person who will add value to our school
  • Someone with a good sense of humour who is willing to fully engage in the life of the school community and truly embraces ‘Investment in GOLD standard’.

What the school offers its staff

We can offer you:

  • A school where 100% of staff feel proud to work here and feel supported (staff survey 2023)
  • Pupils with good attitudes to learning and who understand ‘GOLD standard’ learning behaviour
  • An ‘inspirational’ and ‘ambitious’ Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team
  • ‘Consistency in strategy and policy’
  • Staff with an ‘unwavering commitment’ to school who are hugely supportive and make up a vibrant school team
  • ‘Impressive’ pastoral systems to support vulnerable children

Further details about the role

We are looking to appoint an SEND TA to support school’s evolving SEND offer and to join a team of SEND practitioners. As a rule, we don’t operate a 1:1 model with children with SEND but we do have a growing team of people dedicated to working as a team and in close partnership with the teachers and SENDCo to support the differing needs of our children. This is a role with lots of opportunity for future progression and development. You will be a key part of shaping our school offer alongside our SENDCo. We want to employ someone who has the ambition, drive and resilience to serve in an inner-city school and who is unwavering in their commitment to improve the outcomes and lives of children.

Have you got experience of supporting children with a range of special educational needs?

Maybe you’re thinking of a career in teaching and want to gain experience.

We encourage you to look around our school before applying and you can book an appointment by contacting: Julie Hinchliff, School Business Manager on 0113 2605385 or emailing businessmanager@seacroftgps.org.uk

We are ideally looking for someone who could add to our before and after school club offer and we would like to discuss this with you should you be invited to interview.
