What skills and experience we're looking for

We have a vacancy to support a young person in our school, with a range of needs, including social, physical, communication and interaction, cognition and learning. The role entails supporting the student in their timetabled lessons and with personal care. Due to the additional responsibilities of liaising with external agencies who are providing intervention and for planning and preparing suitable resources, there is an additional responsibility allowance allocated to the role.

The desired candidate would need to demonstrate a positive and caring relationship with all children and share our passion for supporting children to thrive and learn. Ideally applicants will have some experience of working with children with a physical disability, but it is not essential. Flexibility, emotional resilience, and a sense of humour are essential!

It would be possible for the role to be part time or full time. Full time hours would also include some planning and preparation time to support the young person's intervention support as well as general TA support with other classes.
