Teaching Assistant
Job description
Are you looking to turn your experience to support children within a mainstream Primary School environment?
The SENCO of a reputable Primary School in Blackburn is keen to secure a Teaching Assistant qualified up to graduate level to support small groups of pupils across the school who require additional SEMH support. National Lockdowns has inevitably had a huge impact on children’s mental health and their learning. Senior Leaders in school are committed to ensuring each child receives the right level of support and have therefore created a new role in school to support and improve the mental health and wellbeing of individual children.
Senior Leaders are keen to secure a Psychology Graduate as they feel a candidate with expertise in this field would be a great addition to their pastoral and inclusion team. This is an excellent opportunity for a practitioner who has experience of supporting children or vulnerable adults with their mental health.

The successful candidate will report directly to the SENCO.
The ability to build excellent relationships with children and families is essential for this role. The successful applicant must be open minded and committed to inclusion and demonstrate a good understanding of each individual child’s needs. The applicant must be dynamic and resilient and be confident liaising with staff members at all levels. This is an excellent rewarding opportunity. The working hours will be 8:45-15:30 each day (some days hours may be slightly longer due to staff meetings).
