SEN Teaching Assistant

A school in Harrogate (HG2) are in need of someone to provide specialist 1-2-1 SEN support from when school returns until at least the October half-term. If you are experienced in SEN support in any capacity then get in touch as this role could be ideal for you.

A SEN TA is required for a girl in Year 1 who suffers from ADHD and Dyslexia, meaning she needs full-time support when in school. This involves both facilitating her learning in class and accompanying and supporting her if she needs to leave class from time to time. The school want someone to start as soon as school returns and then book them until October half-term, if the selected candidate were to do well over this selected timeframe, then it would likely result in a permanent contract with the school.

The school’s only absolute requirement is that the candidate is experienced and confident in providing 1-2-1 SEN support. This is because the child has to be taken from class quite regularly and the member of staff must be trusted to handle this appropriately. 1-2-1 support in any capacity such as specialist SEN provisions, PRUs, the care industry or behavioural support would therefore go a long way of assuring the school in this case. Any experience specific to Dyslexia, ADHD, or supporting children at this very formative age would also be a significant bonus to any candidate’s application.

The school received OUTSTANDING at its last Ofsted in 2011, and the Head is very welcoming and supportive of new staff. If you are interested in this role then please apply where indicated and Teaching Personnel will arrange interviews and trials once the return date for school is decided so that the chosen candidate is ready to begin right away!
