The School and Role
Our client is looking to recruit a full time Teaching Assistant to join the school for an immediate start. We are looking for staff with experience supporting pupils in a mainstream or special needs setting. Relevant experience will be considered. This school is a SEN school in South Harrow, North West London, which has recently moved into a purpose-built space. This is an exciting opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who is looking to work in a rewarding environment as this school expands, meaning natural progression is available for staff. This school does not tolerate challenging behaviour, and the students are here to receive the support they require. Staff here are not expected to manage behaviour more than they support the learning for pupils. This school caters for students with a range of special educational needs such as Autism (ASC) and Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH). The school is welcoming, friendly, and supportive. The new Headteacher makes his way around the school each morning to welcome their students and staff; they hold a morning de-brief to ensure staff are supported and any concerns are raised and dealt with accordingly. Dress code here is relaxed, and small class sizes of up to 4/6 students could be expected. The school is accepting referrals from local mainstream schools to ensure support is available to those students.
