Relevant training includes:
- Moving and Handling
- Team Teach
- PECS
- Makaton
- Application of medication
The role:
Candidates applying for this position will be required to support a class teacher; assisting with aspects of personal care and general emotional well-being and educational support. In addition this will work in a collaborative nature with other members of staff, as up to 4 teaching assistants will be monitoring pupils in the class at any one time.
Full and part time roles available operating between Mondays - Friday and between 8.30am and 3.30pm. All roles will start as temporary, but will present the opportunity to be permanent depending on the applicants fit within the school. Pay scales will vary, but will be a minimum of £9.00 per hour.
