A proven track record of working alongside children in a Primary setting is essential

Are you a driven, enthusiastic individual looking for a new challenge? Teaching Personnel are currently working with a large school in the heart of Blackpool the school is easily accessible from surrounding areas such as Lytham, Bispham, Cleveleys and even Preston as the school is close to the motorway.

I have recently met with a Headteacher who is looking for a strong Teaching Assistant to work alongside a young boy in Y2 who is disengaged during lessons. The young boy needs extra support and the school are looking for a Teaching Assistant who may has a history of working alongside children with challenging behaviour in a school setting. The pupil struggles to socialise with other children and needs different strategies implemented in order to build self confidence and creative resources would need to be adapted to suite his needs.

The school is located in the centre Blackpool and there are a high percentage of children who arrive in school are on free school meals. The role will be to start after February half-term and run until July. This will be a five day a week position covering up to 33 hours. The rate of pay is competitive with other roles of this sort start from 8.41 per hour.

Teaching Personnel currently have another teaching assistant working in school in a higher year group, this candidate is thoroughly enjoying their role there. From meeting with the Headteacher and being introduced to various members of staff, I can honestly say this is an excellent workplace with a welcoming atmosphere for a new member of staff.
