Secondary Teacher Assistant

* SLD TA
* ASAP start until the end of the academic year
* 'Outstanding' Ofsted (2016)
* Southwark - excellent transport links
* 65-85 daily rate
* Excellent on-site facilities

I am currently working with an 'Outstanding' SEN school that caters for secondary aged students with SLD based Southwark who are looking for a SLD Teacher Assistant to start ASAP on a full time basis. Secondary Teacher Assistants work with 1 or 2 pupils on a daily basis providing individual assistance to ensure access to learning across the curriculum. As a Secondary Teacher Assistant you will complete 1:1 support for students including assisting in personal care tasks (feeding, changing, toileting etc.). This Secondary Teacher Assistant role would suit both experienced TAs from SEN schools or mainstream primary schools - experience supporting learners would be advantageous though not a necessity. The school has an amazing training scheme and support structure in place and as a result welcomes applications from recent graduates who have a passion for special needs or personal experience in this area and are looking for a role to kick-start their career in education.

We are looking for a Secondary Teacher Assistant who:

* Has at least 1 year's UK experience within a mainstream secondary or SEN school
* Has experience supporting severe learning difficulties
* Has the ability to work as part of a team, is keen to learn and work on own initiatives
* Experience using PECs and Makaton (preferable but not essential)
* Manual Handling training (can be offered at a later date)

Catering for students across all areas of SEN, the schools has a huge amount of onsite therapists (physiotherapists, SALT and OT) and specialist schools support assistants that work collaboratively with the teaching staff to meet all the individual needs of each student. Based in Peckham Rye, in Southwark, the school have excellent transport links and onsite parking making it highly accessible. They have excellent specialist facilities that cater to all the needs of their students including a sensory playground - an excellent way to reward students for positive behaviour choices.
