Support Assistant required in mainstream secondary school!

Teaching Personnel are working alongside a mainstream secondary school in Blackpool who are looking for an additional member of staff in their SEN department to support a child who is new to the school and requires some support in the classroom on a 1:1 basis.

The pupil has re-located to the area and suffers with severe ASC which can also cause behavioural difficulties. The school are not certain yet how long the position will be for as it very much depends on the childs progress. They are seeking an experienced Support Assistant who has a background working with children with SEN, inparticular ASC, SEMH and ADHD.

The incoming Support Assistant will be responsible for the welfare of the child alongside supporting them in the classroom. There may also be occassions were you will be required to work on a 1:1 basis outside of the classroom and plan activities for them under the direction of the Head of Department in that particular subject.
