At Aspire school, we believe that learning needs to be individual for all and aspirational for everyone.
We are looking for a Teaching Assistant to join our team to support a cohort of pupils with specific needs around their social and emotional understanding. The approach used with these pupils allows for a bespoke therapeutic curriculum, where no two days will ever feel the same.
These pupils receive targeted input, from a range of professionals to support with their Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs. You will join this team of professionals in facilitating that input and delivering a positive social and academic experience for all those in your care.
The children you will be working with are in the Aspire 2 pathway. This means that alongside a bespoke curriculum, dynamic approaches to learning, behaviour, and emotional regulation will all need to be applied.
To apply you will need to have the following:
1. Experience in supporting children with SEN, and in particular, ASD
2. Experience of working with children with SEMH needs or challenging behaviours
3. You are a calm, resilient and positive person
4. You can demonstrate a strong work ethic and proactive approaches within the classroom.
You will also be a desirable candidate if:
5. You are Team-Teach trained or have previous training in positive behaviour support strategies
6. You thrive working in a friendly team with like-minded people
7. You have a positive sense of humour and attitude
8. You are a clear communicator with adults and children
