The Governing Body of Caerleon Comprehensive School, a popular high-achieving school with a student role of 1500, are seeking to appoint a motivated, organised, and hard-working individual to the post of Teaching Assistant to work in our RESET room.
Our Reset Room is a key element of our behaviour management strategy at Caerleon Comprehensive School. We have a conduct code, and as part of this code, learners may be referred to the Reset Room as a sanction for breaking the code. Students may be referred by a classroom teacher, for disrupting learning in lessons, or by a head of year or leadership team member for incidents outside lessons. The Reset Room aims to be a quiet place of reflection where students can consider their behaviour, complete their work, and think about how to behave differently next time. We are looking for a teaching assistant who enjoys working with students facing various challenges or having a bad day.
The Reset Support TA will provide essential support for the Reset Manager, including:
1. Maintaining a calm environment in the Reset room.
2. Ensuring learners have appropriate work, liaising with teachers, supporting Chromebook login and online work, locating relevant hard copy work, and encouraging self-assessment.
3. Assisting with admin tasks such as emails, phone calls, School Comms, and Class Charts.
4. Monitoring learners during private support sessions.
5. Helping develop Reset resources.
6. Taking learners for breaks if needed and collecting them from lessons.
If you wish to discuss this role informally, please contact Mr Tony Gardner, Assistant Headteacher, at 01633 420106.
Further details and application forms are available on this website. Please send your completed application and cover letter to Victoria James at JamesV37@newportschools.wales.
