Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant - North Manchester

We are working with a 'Good' secondary school in North Manchester, who are looking to secure the services of an experienced, dedicated Teaching Assistant to join them from ASAP until July 2024.

It is essential that you have experience, supporting pupils with additional needs. This particular role is to support the needs of students with SEN, who may display low-level challenging behaviours and can become disengaged from learning. To be successful in this role, it is essential you are calm, resilient, and overall, have a good sense of humour. This would be a focus on helping mainstream students that have SEN in classrooms, to encourage them to keep focus on their academic studies.

This is a brilliant chance to get involved in a school that puts the students first with a warm, happy, and safe environment. The staff and students have a sense of pride in their diverse culture and celebrate this with a culture day, which focuses on the different backgrounds that make their community better. The students take on extra responsibility demonstrating their maturity. This includes school council, being a prefect or a librarian. The school also has a strong community spirit with a 'community fridge', which connects them with the wider area. The leaders of the school constantly raise their expectations of students which has created an improvement across the school. The school also supports its staff in all aspects with CPD to make sure they are always developing.
