SEN Teaching Assistant

A SEN Teaching Assistant is needed for a long term supply position for a lovely client SEN school we work with in the South Tyneside area. This is a long term role to start ASAP, which is full time and may become permanent for the right candidate. Pupils have needs ranging from ASD, MLD, and PMLD. Experience in supporting children with any of the above needs would be an advantage, but is not essential – a willingness to learn and engage with SEN children is the most important quality we are looking for.

You must already be a qualified Level 2 TA or be prepared to commence our training to become a Level 2 TA. Training is offered to candidates who are the right fit for the role and are successful at interview.

The school has a big outdoor area for the children to do some outdoor learning and very friendly and supportive staff.

• Good classroom management skills
• Passion for working as a Teaching Assistant
• Ability to support effectively as a SEN Teaching Assistant

Although a Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification is not essential, it is desirable and we can signpost you to training providers to enhance your skills and provide you with this training.

• Provide two referees we can contact
• Have a DBS form or be prepared to obtain one

Please note that the rate of pay will be dependent on the level of Teaching Assistant qualification you have achieved and the amount of experience you have to date.
