At Leigh Academy Bexley we have a fantastic opportunity for a committed and experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant to become part of a well-established, highly collaborative, and successful inclusion team.
Our staff work hard to ensure that students receive the highest quality education. We have posts available both within mainstream and our exciting new specialist provision and are keen to receive applications from candidates that are passionate about working with secondary-aged students to support their learning.
Working with students on a 1-to-1 basis, in small groups or with general assistance for whole classes, the role of a Teaching Assistant is varied but fundamentally relies on the continuity of support to be successful. Working under the line management of the SENDCO, you'll provide intervention for learners to ensure they are able to access learning from an academic and welfare perspective.
Our ideal candidates will be patient, empathetic and able to adapt to working with students from different backgrounds and with differing needs. Experience of working with young people with Autism in a specialist provision and also delivering small group interventions would be desirable, but not essential.
