We are currently looking for a Level 1 Teaching Assistant to join our successful Achievement Support team, supporting the learning and wellbeing of SEND and Pupil Premium students.

In this role you will help students to understand instructions and support the independent learning and inclusion of all pupils. You will support teaching staff with behaviour management and keeping pupils on task, as well as supporting pupils with their social and emotional well-being, escalating where necessary.

The successful candidate will have previous experience of working or volunteering with young people in some capacity. The post is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to gain experience working with secondary age children and would be an ideal first step for someone considering a future career in teaching. A good educational background, with a GCSE (or equivalent) qualification in English Language is essential in this role.

The school uses Teaching Assistants to carry out Midday Supervision. This has been particularly successful in managing student behaviour and helps to build positive relationships with students.
