We are looking for a trainee Special Education Needs (SEN) Teaching Assistant to work with pupils who have learning difficulties, behavioural problems or physical or sensory disabilities.

  • Personal Care
  • Engaging with pupils
  • Assessing the individual learning needs of pupils
  • Evaluating and reporting pupil's progress to teachers, carers, health care professionals and anybody else who helps them
  • Positively managing challenging behaviour and dealing with difficult situations
  • Supervising activities such as trips locally.
  • Working with teachers to find bespoke and individualised child centred education to help engage the young people in Education

The training given includes the following:

  • Understanding Core Attachment
  • Understanding Brain Development and the Impact of Trauma
  • Secure Base Model
  • Understanding and Working with Sexually Harmful Behaviour
  • Proactive Approaches
  • Understanding ASD Behaviour
  • Manual Handling

If you feel you have any of the skills shown above please feel free to contact Matt our SEN specialist, we would love to hear from you.
