In response to the growing cohort of pupils identified with Communication and Interaction needs, an exciting opportunity has arisen within the Inclusive Support Team for a TA3 to enhance and support the provision already in place. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience and a specific interest in supporting students who present with Communication and Interaction difficulties.

This opportunity will allow a committed professional to further develop their expertise in this area, working with students 11-18, parents and/or carers and outside agencies. The ideal candidate will take a pro-active role in the development of our response to pupils with communication and interaction needs demonstrating effective communication skills and be a positive role model to all. The role will involve working closely with the SENDCo and wider team, liaising effectively with class teachers and the wider pastoral support team. It will also encompass working in partnership with pupils and parents/carers to establish effective strategies designed to understand, and remove barriers to learning promoting both progress and confidence.

Our Trust welcomes teachers who are enthusiastic, energetic, and dedicated individuals with a talent for working with young people and a love of education.
