SEND 1-1 Teaching Assistant Prep

Holme Grange is a successful, traditional Independent School with a real soul. We aim to stimulate intellectual curiosity and encourage pupils to embrace challenge. We have high expectations, setting high standards for ourselves and our pupils. Pastoral care is the responsibility of every member of staff and is one of the many strengths of the School. 

We have opportunities for motivated teaching assistants to work 1:1 supporting our pupil’s with SEN.

These are full-time posts and we are looking for talented members of staff who:

• have prior experience of working with children as a teaching assistant / learning support assistant, or an interest in starting a career in education;
• have experience working with SEN children – particularly autism and/or ADHD;
• are passionate about supporting the teaching and learning of young people;
• have the desire to ensure that all children secure the highest possible levels of progress and attainment;
• have the ability to work creatively and sensitively with children;
• are able to relate well to and communicate well with children and adults;

• are flexible and have the ability to use initiative;

Having very successfully extended our School’s excellent provision to teach to GCSE in September 2015, the School is thriving and we have waiting lists in most year groups. Our Early Years Department have won the ISA Early Years Award for Excellence and Innovation in Provision. 

We have innovative, forward thinking staff with an understanding of how children learn and continue to learn ourselves. We offer a delightful working environment which is well resourced.
