Teaching Personnel are currently looking for a teaching assistant to work with a specialist secondary provision in the Amersham area. The school caters for students aged 11-19 with a variety of additional needs including Autism, Downs Syndrome and Speech, Language and Communication needs. The position will be working with students in key stage 4 (year 10 & 11) helping prepare students for life after the school. Some students will require assistance working towards their exams and qualifications and you will be needed to work with students on a one to one basis to help them with revision and boosting their confidence towards their chosen subjects. Other students will need your assistance to help them engage with other students and build on their social and emotional skills to prepare them for adult like. You will need to work in line with the schools vision that every child should leave the school feeling ready and supported for the challenges of adult life.
