Teaching Assistant Level 2 - The Bridge School - Forward Education Trust job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Teaching Assistants to join The Bridge School. The Bridge School is a special school for primary age children with complex special educational needs that is part of Forward Education Trust. Many of our children have profound and multiple learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties or present on the autistic spectrum and have communication difficulties. This role is tied to the continuation of external funding.

All of the children who attend The Bridge School have an Education and Health Care Plan. Our school educates 90 children with complex and multiple needs. Children may have Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) or a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Some children have additional needs including visual impairment and hearing impairment and behaviour difficulties. Children attending our school will usually require augmented and modified curriculum opportunities including an overarching mobility curriculum and a sensory experiential curriculum for our more profound learners. The Bridge School underpins all of its curriculum delivery through continually developing its communication work so that pupils may access their learning in a way personalised to their needs.

The Bridge School is committed to providing continuous professional development for all staff. We offer a supportive, motivating, and engaging working environment. All applicants must have GCSE grades A-C or equivalent in English Language.
