CACHE SEN Teaching Assistant (Level 3)
Learning at home
Summary
Overview
CACHE SEN Teaching Assistant
Some children have difficulties with various aspects of life and learning, including speech and language difficulties such as dyslexia, but also physical impairments like cerebral palsy. Deafness, blindness, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and many other conditions need specialist support, which require specialist knowledge from an appropriately competent adult in the classroom.
If you've always wanted to be involved in the classroom, helping children to understand how to communicate and interpret this world we've built for them, and have a passion to help those who are less or more able than the majority (gifted or talented children need help too), here's your chance to set out on a highly-rewarding and fulfilling new career.
The government is pushing hard for better adult to child ratios in the classroom. Money is being pumped into schools across the country to help them take on more Teaching Assistants, as this is regarded as the quickest, most cost-effective way to improve the staffing situation. SEN Teaching Assistants are in particularly short supply, so you will never have a better opportunity to get yourself up-to-speed and make a worthwhile contribution to this vibrant, positive and rewarding educational environment.
