Secondary SEN Teaching Assistants in Halifax
An energetic and compassionate individual is needed as a Teaching Assistant.
Contact us for this rewarding opportunity as a Secondary SEN Teaching Assistant in Halifax.
A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen at a secondary specialist school for an experienced secondary SEN Teaching Assistant in Halifax. The student is preparing to enter Year 7 but is working at emerging Year 1 levels and has recently experienced a difficult transition from primary to secondary education. Therefore, this role may also suit someone with a primary SEN background who is willing to work in a secondary setting as a 1:1 assistant. The student has specific medical needs related to epilepsy, and personal care is sometimes required. The student has a diagnosis of autism, with a focus on speech and language, communication (using PECS and partial BSL), and sometimes escalatory behaviours that require physical intervention. There is an ILDP and an EHCP in place.
What we expect from a Secondary SEN Teaching Assistant in Halifax:
1. Ability to form meaningful relationships with students
2. Confidence in behaviour management and de-escalation techniques
3. Kindness, empathy, and dedication
4. Willingness to undertake administrative tasks
In return, we offer:
1. Competitive rates starting from £90 per day and relatively short working hours
2. Appropriate medical administration training for suitable candidates
3. A supportive team and environment
4. A rewarding role where you can make a real difference in a child's life
The successful candidate should be aware that the child is most likely to start at our school in September, although this is not yet confirmed. Flexibility on the part of the candidate is appreciated and can be discussed during the interview.
