Teaching Assistant - Dewsbury

Here at Teaching Personnel I am currently looking to recruit a number of Teaching Assistants to work in one my Secondary School clients in the Dewsbury area on a daily basis assisting pupils within lessons on a 1:1/small group basis.

One of our partner schools in Dewsbury is looking for compassionate individuals with excellent communication skills to join their supportive pastoral team. This position is initially temporary to start with but there are always opportunities for the right candidate to become permanent. This school strives to provide children with a fun and enjoyable learning experience and needs a teaching assistant to support them in sustaining this goal. The school is currently in a state of rapid improvement and it is a very exciting time to be a part of the school as they have lots of opportunities to work across the trust.

Responsibilities of the successful Teaching Assistant:

• Provide support to the whole class, small groups and 1:1 across KS3 and KS4
• Encourage children to complete their work to the best of their ability
• Increase children's self-esteem by pointing out the good in their work
• Support the class teacher to deliver exciting lessons
• Behaviour management throughout the school day

What I need from you:

• A positive and enthusiastic attitude to support learning
• Experience working with young children
• A caring and nurturing personality
• Excellent communication skills
• A child workforce only enhanced DBS certificate on the update service (or be willing to apply for one)
