Special Needs Teaching Assistants - Bank

I am currently looking for Teaching Assistants on a flexi-bank basis to provide support within an SEN provision in the Tonbridge area. This is a school for children and young people aged 2-19 with profound, severe and complex needs, many of whom have a diagnosis of autism. The school invests in employing the best staff and in training them to achieve; as such the school strives to engage staff who are self-motivated, professional and ambitious. I am looking for a bank of exceptional people on a flexi-bank basis to help cover unexpected sickness, planned absences and course cover.

Ideal candidates will be/have:

• Professional and caring individual
• Have a good understanding about safeguarding and working with vulnerable children
• Flexible, adaptable and be able to use own initiative
• Must be comfortable with personal care (toileting)
• Moving and Handling (incl. Hoists) beneficial but not essential
• Experience working within SEN or working with children is beneficial but not essential (all applications welcome)

As the range of pupil's ages and SEN requirements vary, I am looking for flexible team members who are confident to work across all aspects of SEN and all key stages.

Position details:

• School Hours 08:50am - 15:30pm
• SEN Teaching Assistant (Flexi-Bank)
• Ages 2 - 19
