Your new company

Your new role

As a teaching assistant within this school, you will be supporting an extremely bright and lovely year 11 pupil on a 1:1 basis.

Other duties will include:

• Interventions and boosters in core subjects
• Supporting during break and lunch times
• Maintaining accurate records on progress, including recognising key milestones
• GCSE support toward the later stages of the academic year

What you'll need to succeed

To be considered in your application, you must have full "Right to Work" in the UK, a minimum of 40 days referenceable classroom experience within the last 2 years, and:

• Sound knowledge of the KS4 national curriculum
• Be able to commit to a long-term full-time contract (32.5 hours per week)
• Experience supporting high functioning ASD is advantageous
• An NVQ Level 2 Supporting Teaching and Learning or equivalent qualification is advantageous but not essential

What you'll get in return

• Free training
• Upfront cost of DBS covered
