Due to expansion, an alternative provision in Scunthorpe is opening a new site based in Broughton and requires a Teaching Assistant to work one to one with pupils with adverse childhood experiences, guiding them on their journey as they enter the new school. There is capacity for the role to be based at either the Scunthorpe Site or the Broughton site, depending on your preference.
The provision predominantly caters for children aged 11-16 who have social, emotional and mental health needs. This role requires a high level of resilience, patience and empathy for those who can show dysregulated behaviours and have trauma responses. This is a highly supportive work environment, and you will have the full support of the wider team, an expert care team and exceptional senior leadership.
Your role as a Teaching Assistant is to support the children with emotional regulation and gently encourage them to access their learning in a way that meets their needs. You will also have responsibility for reporting any safeguarding concerns for and on behalf of your pupil and the wider school community, as well as fostering a trusting and safe relationship with your pupil.
The working hours for this role are 08:30 – 15:30 Monday to Friday. Please be aware, this is a full-time role where you are required to work Monday to Friday each week, and due to the level of consistency needed for these children, we are unable to offer a part-time option at this time. This is a permanent role, subject to successful completion of a 12-week probation through Milk Education. The daily pay rate is £110.00.
At this time, we are inviting applications from individuals who have 6 months of experience in working with children or a transferable industry relating to mental health or other public service roles such as Police, Probation, ex-Military, HMP or other children's services. Start date for this role is immediate. Please be aware the start date for this role is 1st September 2026.
