The settings across Sheffield require unique and committed individuals who have a real passion to care, understand and motivate SEN pupils to succeed. Prior to starting work, you will be required to complete an online training programme created by Vision for Education, which will give you the essential knowledge and confidence you need to begin your work as a Teaching Assistant.

You will assist the class teacher with recording and reporting on pupil progress and behaviour and help ensure that children are making good progress in the classroom.
