SEN Teaching Assistant

A secondary school in the Trafford area is keen to recruit and appoint a confident Teaching Assistant who has experience of supporting young people or interacting with those who have special educational needs (SEN). This could be in a similar educational setting, personal capacity, care environment or experience from another avenue. The successful Teaching Assistant should be able to utilise this experience and skill set to engage with young people who perhaps have Autism, ADHD, Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD) or are just disengaged with school life.

The SENCO said of the positions available:

“We are keen to appoint a Teaching Assistant to work mostly within our SEN Department supporting students in the classroom as required. The likely successful TA can be a graduate in any discipline or someone who has some level of relevant experience of working with young people.”

There will be an element of working with students on a 1 to 1 basis within the classroom, working closely with them on their work. This school is located in the Trafford area of Greater Manchester making it very easy to access for any graduates that live in the nearby areas of Stretford, Fallowfield, Chorlton or Didsbury.
