Male Teaching Assistant

This post is subject to a genuine Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010. Due to the specific needs of the learner, applications are invited from male candidates only. This requirement is proportionate and necessary to meet the learner's individual support needs and promote their wellbeing, dignity and educational outcomes.

The role of 1:1 Teaching Assistant is to provide support to meet the learners’ needs in preparation for entering the workplace. You will have an active role in assisting learners on training courses to help them progress into education, employment, training or volunteering. You will work alongside our Tutors to deliver employability skills, Functional Skills maths and English sessions and uphold our core goals.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will support the Tutor and leadership team in ensuring the courses run effectively and the service provided reflects the ethos of the company. You will support the Tutors and leadership teams in ensuring directives and policies are reflected and implemented in everyday practice. You will be line managed by your Cluster Lead, but also report to your designated Tutor and other leaders.

At times you may be required to cover classes while the Tutor is called away or in situations such as sickness. The TA would be provided with the lesson plan for those sessions and the support of another TA or member of the Team. Teaching time for Teaching Assistants is paid at a higher rate.
