Join the “UK’s Comprehensive School of the Year”.
At Impington Village College we are proud to have a large and highly regarded SEND Faculty.
We have students from ages 11-18 with a wide range of needs, some of which are very
complex. We also have Enhanced Resource units for young people with EHCPs and more
complex needs.
We require a teaching assistant to support some of our most complex students on a 1:1, 2:1 or
small group basis as well as general student support across the college. The successful
candidate must have a calm and empathetic approach and understand that all behaviour is
communication. You must have the skills and experience to enable students to become
independent and make progress both socially and academically, with a desire to transform the
lives of young people by supporting integration into mainstream school. Previous training in
de-escalation and physical intervention (STEPs, Therapeutic Thinking, Team Teach etc.) is
desirable but not required, and will be provided. The ability to share your expert knowledge
and experience through training and CPD sessions for other teaching assistants and teachers
is essential.
