Teaching Personnel is looking to recruit several Psychology Graduates to work as Teaching Assistant within our specialist primary schools around the Bath area. Both to in the new academic year (September 2020).

These roles are perfect for graduates who want to learn what it’s like to work within education, or for graduates wanting to gain school experience in order to join onto a PGCE course later down the line. The roles generally involve working 1:1 with individuals who need support within the classroom in order to boost attainment.
Some work may give the TA exposure to supporting SEN pupils with needs such as autism, ADHD, learning difficulties and challenging behaviour.

Extensive knowledge of emotional, social and behavioural difficulties, learnt through studying a degree in Psychology is desired in this role, as is experience working with challenging young people. However, if you relish the opportunity of working and making a difference in this field despite lacking relevant experience, then this role could still be suited to you.

If you are enthusiastic and passionate about working in a local school and have the ability to positively engage these students, form friendly relationships, and in turn inspire development and progression in them, then we want to hear from you! Day-to-day, you will have the support of the inspirational SENCO that you can utilise to your advantage to help your progression and development in the role.
