The Governing Body are looking to appoint a caring and committed Teaching Assistant (SEND) to support a child with special educational needs.  We are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

The Governors would like to appoint someone to join our friendly, supportive team, working as a Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant.

We are looking to appoint a person who:

• has a proven record of high quality support for children with SEND and having a positive impact on their outcome;
  
• has a range of relevant experience, including working with children with SEND across the primary age range; and
  
• is determined to raise standards in order to secure the best possible outcomes for each child.

The successful candidate must be able to converse with ease with members of the public and provide effective help and advice in accurate and fluent spoken English.

Please note that if you are shortlisted for this role, or an alternative role, an online name search will be undertaken, as per Keeping Children Safe in Education.  The purpose of the search is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which the school might want to explore with you at interview. 

Please ensure that references include your most recent employer and that the contact email is their professional NOT their personal email address.

The fact that a pending charge, conviction, bind-over or caution has been recorded against you will not necessarily debar you from consideration for this appointment.
