Required: As soon as possible
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.
Impington also benefits from being part of the Eastern Learning Alliance (ELA). ELA offer a sector leading staff benefits package alongside bespoke, high quality CPD programmes, cross-trust events, and exceptional opportunities for career development within our innovative family of schools. This includes healthcare, car, mobile phone and laptop payment plans, access to private GP services, physiotherapy and mental health support, discounts and access to ticket ballots for high profile events.
