Are you seeking a rewarding career that (quite rightly) fills you with pride? Do you have a passion for making a difference in the lives of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)? If you're enthusiastic about supporting SEND children and are confident in your ability to positively impact their learning and well-being, then this role is perfect for you!
A respected specialist school located in Camberley, committed to delivering inclusive education to a varied student cohort, encompassing individuals with a range of mild needs such as Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), Autism (ASD), behavioural challenges (EBD), Sensory Impairments (SI) and Physical Disabilities (PD), is actively searching for a devoted and enthusiastic SEND Teaching Assistant to join their team and make a meaningful contribution.
Job Description
This position offers a rewarding opportunity for you to engage in a role focused on providing personalized assistance to students with diverse needs, whether it's helping them grasp new concepts, offering emotional support, or aiding in their daily activities.
You'll work closely with the class teacher to implement tailored learning plans, adapting teaching methods and resources to meet the individual needs of each student. Whether it's providing one-on-one support, facilitating group activities, or assisting with classroom management, your positivity and passion will shine through in everything you do. Alongside the staff you will be responsible for safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people. Patience, empathy, and creativity are your greatest tools as you support students not only academically but also in nurturing their social skills, independence, and self-confidence.
A clean DBS and prior experience (personal or professional) supporting SEND children are essential for this role, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment.
