Due to expansion, an Independent School in Gainsborough require ten Teaching Assistants to work one to one with children with adverse childhood experiences, and guide them on their journey at their new school. The school predominantly cater for children aged 7-11 who have social, emotional and mental health needs. This role requires a high level of resilience, patience and empathy for those who can show dysregulated behaviours and have trauma responses. This is a highly supportive work environment and you will have the full support of the wider team, an expert care team and exceptional senior leadership. Your role as a Teaching Assistant is to support the children with emotional regulation and gently encourage them to access their learning in a way which meets their needs. You will also have responsibility for reporting any safeguarding concerns for and on behalf of your pupil and the wider school conmmunity as well as fostering a trusting and safe relationship, with your pupil.
