SEND Teaching Assistant

St Charles are looking for an enthusiastic SEND teaching assistant to join our team, working for 16 hours and 15 minutes per week in the mornings.

• Working with teachers to raise the learning and attainment of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
• Promoting pupils’ independence, self-esteem and social inclusion
• Giving support to pupils, individually or in groups, so they can access the curriculum, take part in learning and experience a sense of achievement

If you are a caring and supportive Teaching Assistant who is committed to getting the best outcomes for pupils then we want to hear from you. You will be able to build effective working relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues and will adapt their approach to meet the needs of all pupils.

We offer:

• Access to first class CPD opportunities. We also work in partnership with Nottingham Teaching School Alliance to deliver meaningful and relevant CPD. Our Leadership Academy identifies and develops future leaders.
• Genuine opportunities for career progression - with 25 academies in our family, and 84 academies across the Diocese, opportunities for career progression are a reality.
• Professional assistance - you will have access to an Employee Assistance Programme which provides confidential, independent and unbiased information and guidance 24/7. If clinically advisable, it also offers face‑to‑face counselling sessions.
• Pension - automatic enrolment into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme with 23.68% employer contributions, or to the Local Government Pension Scheme for support staff, one of the most competitive on the market, with employer contributions of above 20% in most cases.
• Terms and Conditions - we have committed to following nationally agreed terms and conditions for pay for both teachers and support staff.

The St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi‑Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to satisfactory references, which will be requested, prior to interview, an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, medical check, evidence of qualifications plus verification of the right to work in the UK.

Please note that the closing date may be brought forward depending upon interest.
