ASAP
Permanent
SN11
Pay: £100 - £115 per day
I am working with a vibrant Catholic Primary school located in Wiltshire that is more than just a place where children learn to read and write. It is a place where they are nurtured, where their faith is strengthened, and where they are prepared to be thoughtful, compassionate members of society. They also offer a multitude of ways to get involved with local and school based charitable work.
This school has an exciting opportunity for a SEN TA to specialise in small group intervention starting as soon as possible and staying on a permanent basis. You will play a vital role in pupils' educational, emotional and social development. You must be able to provide a calm, consistent and reassuring presence, adapting classroom materials to encourage engagement and proactive learning, helping them transition easily between SEN groups and mainstream schooling.
Responsibilities:
* Adapting lesson materials, making them accessible to the pupil.
* Confidence running group work and behaviour management.
* Reinforcing learning objectives set by the teacher.
* Assisting with literacy and numerical tasks breaking them down into more manageable steps.
* Understanding the individual needs of the pupil to best support them in class.
Requirements:
* Previous experience working with SEN children.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage with the pupil, parents and colleagues effectively.
* Patience, empathy and resilience to meet the diverse needs of students.
* Relevant qualifications and training in supporting children with SEND.
* An understanding of relevant safe guarding and child protection procedures.
