What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a passionate and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our Inclusion Team at Maghull High School. The successful candidate will be key in ensuring positive outcomes for the students who experience difficulties in one or more area of need. Our Inclusion Team staff are fulfilled by the idea of making positive changes for our young people, often acting as their advocate as they navigate their way through school. There will be lots of ups and downs, but to many of our young people, the support offered by their trusted team of adults is the most important thing to ensure success. Our actions may sometimes seem small on the surface, but they can mean a massive difference to our students.

We are dedicated to supporting students with SEND and are looking for motivated candidates who will take responsibility for the provision for some of our most complex and vulnerable students, supporting their achievement across all curriculum and non-curriculum areas in school. Previous experience in supporting students as a teaching assistant is not essential; the right person to effectively support our young people is.

Working alongside the SENCO and Assistant SENCO you will support with administrative processes and be expected to keep accurate and detailed records.

The successful candidate will be required to confidently collaborate and communicate with students, staff, families and a range of external services and partner schools.
