Part of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust, Spring Brook School caters for pupils with a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) difficulties. The school operates on a split site basis with the primary provision based in Hollins and the KS3 provision based in Failsworth.

Spring Brook Lower School is a unique place where pupils aged 5-11 are nurtured and developed to encourage independence and skills for life. Their social, emotional and mental health needs are at the forefront of our work. We offer a joined up, topic-based curriculum which suits our learners’ needs. The school also operates specialised intervention groups where pupils can focus on the development of a range of skills from social, emotional and mental health to a range of academic subjects.

Due to the complex needs of our students, high levels of emotional and physical resilience are needed in dealing with challenging behaviour. However, the knowledge that our work is making a positive impact in helping the young people to grow and work towards independence brings great reward.

We currently have a vacancy for an experienced, resilient and highly committed Level 3 Teaching Assistant to join the fantastic team at our primary provision based in Hollins

• Sound experience of supporting young people who present with challenging behaviour and complex needs, preferably within an SEMH setting

• Experience of intervening to support students in crisis or trauma by using either emotional or educational support
• A nurturing and empathetic approach to behaviour management
• The physical and emotional resilience to support pupils with SEMH, understanding that all behaviour is a form of communication
• Experience of supporting teaching and learning activities for students, and providing support for the class teacher in the preparation and organisational processes involved in the day to day running of a lesson.
• Experience of delivering bespoke interventions to individuals or small groups of learners
• Experience of providing cover in the short-term absence of the class teacher
• Experience of monitoring and assessing student progress and engagement; and providing regular feedback to stakeholders
• Experience of working in partnership with classroom teachers to differentiate appropriate interventions for students in relation to the curriculum
• Experience of supervising students over lunch and break times as directed
• The ability to build relationships with students, families and key partners around the students.
