Are you a resilient and empathetic SEN Teaching Assistant looking to support a young person through their secondary school journey?
We are seeking a dedicated individual to provide 1:1 support for a specific student within a vibrant secondary school environment. At this level, your role is not just about academic support, but about helping a student build the confidence, social skills, and independence needed to succeed in their teenage years and beyond.

* Exam Support: Assisting with adapted materials and potentially acting as a scribe or reader during assessments.
* Social & Life Skills: Helping the student navigate the complexities of secondary school social dynamics and fostering emotional regulation.
* Promoting Independence: Implementing strategies that move the student toward self-reliance in preparation for post-16 transitions.
* Progress Tracking: Collaborating with staff to monitor academic progress and behavioural trends.

We are looking for a mentor-figure who is patient, proactive, and understands the unique challenges of the secondary setting:
* Experience: Previous experience with secondary-aged youth with SEN (e.g., Autism, ADHD, SEMH, or Moderate Learning Difficulties).
* Adaptability: The ability to support a variety of subjects and remain calm in a fast-paced environment.
* Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to build rapport with teenagers while maintaining professional boundaries.
* Resilience: A firm but fair approach to managing challenging behaviours or emotional outbursts.
* Qualifications: Relevant qualifications or experience in a secondary education or youth work setting is highly desirable.
What We Offer
* Competitive Daily Rate: £88.92 - £95 per day.
* Secondary Experience: A chance to gain meaningful experience in a Key Stage 3 and 4 environment.
* Supportive Environment: Access to a collaborative department and regular guidance from the school's SENCO.
* Impactful Work: The satisfaction of helping a young person overcome barriers to their future success.
