The Head teacher at a school, in Nelson (BB9) have approached Teaching Personnel to source a specialist support assistant who has strong behaviour management and experience working alongside an individual child with challenging behaviour.

The child is due to arrive in school in September 2023 and from previous experience upon starting a new school, has not settled well.

- Be able to provide at least two education based references from your most recent employers; preferably HEAD and SENCO or DEPUTY.

- Be able to take up a full time teaching assistant position in a Nelson school.

You must have the enthusiasm and commitment to work alongside a child with particularly aggressive behaviour.

The role will be to start as of October 2023. The working hours are 8:30-15:30. You will also be expected to work during lunchtime for 30 minutes.
