Summary
Do you work in a Care, School, Nursery, Residential, Support, or Extra-curricular setting with children? We are recruiting for SEND Teaching Assistants for Specialist Provision schools. Candidates from a care / support background will be accepted for application and offered training to transfer their skill set into an education setting. We are currently working in partnership with a number of local Specialist Provision schools to recruit supportive and flexible SEND Teaching Assistants to work with primary and secondary aged pupils.
Your new company.
Hays Education is a recruitment agency that specialises in connecting educational institutions with passionate educators. Working with Hays Education provides access our extensive network of schools and MATs, specialised expert consultants and access to a wide range of free CPD and lifestyle benefits. These positions are specifically working within Specialist provision schools which offer a unique and rewarding experience giving educators a greater opportunity to personalise their approach to make a significant impact on pupils lives.
Your new role.
You will be required to immerse yourself in the provision and offer an abridged curriculum in line with development and EHCP'S.

You will be provided with support to build your confidence in working with SEN pupils and make strong bonds with the children in your care. You will also help the class teacher assess pupils and make sure learning material is accessible to pupils to aid development and learning. Experience in SEND is not always necessary as the school will provide support for the right applicant. You will take part in training in line with the school CPD calendar.

- Comparative salary with SEN allowance.

- Staff support for those who have worked with children outside of education.
