Teaching Assistant

We are currently looking for a teaching assistant who has previously worked with students with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). The position is within an SEN School and would be a challenging but highly rewarding role. Particular personal or professional experience of supporting individuals with ASC is highly desirable, such as an understanding of the complexities related to this condition. The ideal person would have a good knowledge of teaching and behaviour strategies relevant to ASC.

Candidates who are familiar with PEC’s, TEACCH system, signing (Makaton/BSL/sign-a-long) are strongly encouraged to apply as these skills will be very relevant to the role.

We require candidates to apply who are passionate in assisting children with ASC to access the curriculum. An understanding and flexible nature is essential, and the school is particularly keen to have candidates who are proactive, empathetic, engaging and creative.

Requirements:

- Work the hours of 8:30-3:30

- Happy to apply for a DBS if you don’t already have one

- Willing to do trial days and interviews

Should you require any additional information regarding ASC or indeed to apply for the position, please contact your SEN specialist Narissa Collins.
