Teaching assistant Sevenoaks

Do you currently want to kick-start your career in education but don't have the relevant qualifications or experience?

Teaching Personnel are currently searching for a teaching assistant to become a role model and mentor to secondary school students.

We at Teaching Personnel offer a personalised tutoring service to help schools increase pupil attainment. We call these our intervention programmes and each of these has been designed to help pupils reach their full potential. As a behaviour mentor, your role will be helping challenging students overcome their behavioural issues by giving them someone to look up to.

Behaviour Buddies work on a half/full day basis, one-to-five days a week for at least half a term. We match your availability with tutoring positions, giving you a truly flexible role!

Behaviour Mentor responsibilities include:

• To establish productive working relationships with pupils, encouraging and motivating them.
• Raising achievement by providing a specialist service that assists schools in meeting their targets and obligations.
• Being a friend to students with behavioural issues, giving them someone to confide in and trust.
• To challenge and motivate pupils, promoting and reinforcing self esteem alongside providing levels of individual pastoral support.

Benefits include:

• Great chance for career progression and the chance to get some experience before doing a PGCE.

• The opportunity to be an inspirational role model and mentor to a disadvantaged young person.

Continuing professional development courses such as Team Teach is available.

The ability to cover full classes is a benefit to the schools requirements.
