Level 3 Teaching Assistant
New Directions is seeking a dedicated and experienced Level 3 Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant and welcoming school community based in Wavertree. This role offers an excellent opportunity to support pupils across the primary age range, contributing to their academic, social, and emotional development.
The ideal candidate will hold a relevant Level 3 qualification and demonstrate a strong understanding of classroom support, child development, and inclusive practice. You will work closely with class teachers to deliver high-quality learning experiences, offer targeted support to individuals and small groups, and help maintain a positive and engaging learning environment.
Responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to:
* Have excellent communication skills.
* Be able to build strong relationships with students and staff.
* Be encouraging and supportive.
* Have a positive attitude towards teaching and aiding children’s development.
* Ensure the safety and well-being of the students.
Although the role is based around education support, due to the children’s personal needs and behaviours, they require consistent mentoring, motivating, and advising, as well as some counselling so their well-being can remain stable, allowing them to achieve more in their education and work towards a more independent future.
Behaviours displayed by the children can be challenging, so applicants must be prepared to practice de-escalation and calming techniques, as well as maintain an empathetic approach and understand that behaviours often stem from other problems. Candidates from care, sports, psychology, criminology, sociology, and youth work backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
