We are looking for a Teaching and Learning Assistant to join our team here at Beacon Primary Academy!
At Beacon Primary Academy, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their starting point, learning difference or additional need. We are proud of our highly inclusive culture, where children are supported to achieve both academically and personally within a nurturing and ambitious environment.
We are seeking enthusiastic, compassionate and dedicated Teaching and Learning Assistant to join our inclusive team. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals who are passionate about making a genuine difference to children's lives and who want a role that goes beyond traditional classroom support.
About us:
Unlike many schools where TSAs are assigned solely to support within a single classroom, Beacon Primary Academy operates an innovative and inclusive support model. Our Learning Support Assistants develop expertise in specific areas of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), becoming specialists who contribute to our whole-school intervention and inclusion offer both inside and outside the classroom.
Depending on experience and interests, TSAs may have the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in areas such as:
- Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC)
- Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN)
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)
- Cognition and Learning
- ADHD and Executive Functioning
- Sensory and Physical Needs
- Emotional literacy and wellbeing interventions
As part of our team, you will play an active role in planning and delivering high-quality interventions, supporting staff/teachers across the school and helping to ensure that every child receives the correct in class support as well as targeted support they need to succeed.
At the heart of our inclusion offer is The Nest, our dedicated hub for pupils who benefit from a more personalised approach to their learning and development. The Nest provides a calm, nurturing and inclusive environment where pupils receive tailored support to help them learn, develop and flourish. We are looking for staff who share our commitment to ensuring every child feels understood, valued and supported to achieve their full potential. This is a part time role (3 days a week). Part of this role may also include supporting in our Reception/Year 1 Team.
In return we have multiple benefits for our talented and highly valued people:
Alongside nationally agreed terms and conditions, we offer a generous benefits package. Here's a selection of what's on offer to our people in recognition of the huge difference they make to our children, their families and the communities we serve.
