Teaching Assistant

Are you passionate about supporting disadvantaged pupils in education?

Many children and young people across the UK have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). The most vulnerable and disadvantaged children have been disproportionately affected by school closures, and pre-existing attainment gaps between pupils have only become more aggressive and ingrained.

In order to help mitigate these adverse implications, the government has allocated additional funding – allowing schools to take on additional teaching staff to support lessons.

Teaching Personnel are working with a number of schools in South Sheffield to help fill these open teaching assistant vacancies.

Roles and responsibilities:

• Supporting the teacher to plan and deliver creative and engaging lessons
• Working 1:1 and in small groups with pupils who require additional mentoring, such as those with SEN and EAL profiles
• Adopting behavioural management strategies to minimise classroom disruption
• Monitoring pupil progress and achievements
• Supervising children during lunchtime; coordinating and playing with the children

The ideal candidate will have:

• A university degree
• Experience working with children or a thorough understanding of the complexity of child development and education
• Availability to start work in the upcoming months
• Commitment to securing outstanding progress for all learners
• Excellent interpersonal skills
