- Communicate and work effectively and supportively as a member of the school team including students, parents and carers, other staff and external agencies.
- Establish positive relationships with students and empathise with their needs
- Provide levels of individual attention, reassurance and help with learning tasks as appropriate to students’ needs.
- Physically support learners and push those who use wheelchairs and / or special seating systems within school and also hoist and position some of the pupils. Guidance and manual handling training will be given as to the most appropriate way to do this.
- Work with learners on their independence and self-care procedures and support pupils with their intimate and personal care with dignity and respect.
Experience of supporting students in a classroom environment, including those with special educational needs is desirable, but we have lots of experience supporting TAs to do well from all sorts of backgrounds. Most importantly we are looking for the right person who can demonstrate a respect and ambition for our pupils – we look forward to hearing from you!
We have a full support and induction training programme for our staff, all of whom are highly valued.
