SEN TA

Are you a patient empathetic person? Can you work effectively on a 1:1 basis with a child with additional needs? SEN TA required as soon as possible for the remainder of summer term.

Prospero Teaching are working with a large, outstanding primary school in Manchester to recruit an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to support a child with additional needs. The child is in Reception so their needs are not diagnosed but many of the traits suggest they are autistic. It would be advantageous if you have supported children with autism and have a good level of familiarity with this condition.

While the main responsibility of this Teaching Assistant role is to provide support for this particular child, you will also be required to work with other children in the class and carry out general teaching assistant tasks including:

• Lead groups in learning activities in Maths, Guided Reading, Writing and Phonics
• Support children with reading activities on a 1:1 basis
• Prepare resources for activities and class displays and areas
• Engage the children in play and craft activities
• Manage behaviour effectively
• Make assessments and record assessment data

This is a full-time Teaching Assistant role to start as soon as possible and is required until the end of summer term, at a minimum. To be eligible to apply for this role, you must have an Enhanced DBS on the update service, or be willing to process a new DBS at a cost of £45.20. You must have UK classroom experience and professional references covering the last 2 full years.
