Early Years ASD Teaching Assistant - Salford

Tradewind Manchester are supporting a two-form entry primary school based in Salford, M7 to recruit for their Specialist Enhanced Resource within the school. It is a temporary position starting ASAP but could lead to a permanent contract for the right candidate.

This Primary School needs proactive Teaching Assistants to support Nursery aged children who have Autism. You will be working in their specialist unit alongside 6 other members of staff. The children also have some forms of ADHD, so the school is looking for energetic but calm and patient Teaching Assistants who love what they do. Ideally, you will have prior experience supporting children who display challenging behaviour, but this is not essential if you have the right attitude. The children tend to push boundaries and lash out; they will therefore require a resilient and determined TA. You will need to commit until the end of the academic year to keep the consistency for the children.

The School is based in M7 and has easy access by car or public transport from surrounding areas.

A successful candidate must be:

• Dedicated, resilient and proactive
• Experienced with behaviour management strategies
• Able to start ASAP
• Available on a full-time basis for the full academic year
• Already have or be happy to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
• Overseas Police Clearances (if applicable) and professional reference checks

About the school:

This Salford based Primary School is rated 'Good' by OFSTED. It is an inclusive school where the staff work hard to ensure that the curriculum meets the needs of the individual. Special consideration is given to the teaching of life skills as well as English and Maths skills. Their philosophy is that all children deserve the best possible start to their lives. They encourage them to develop socially, emotionally, academically and physically to achieve their full potential.

The benefits of working your initial temporary period in the role through Tradewind include:

• More certified CPD courses than any other education recruitment agency, 25 to be exact! That's 18 more than our next nearest competitor!
• Great referral scheme - recommend a friend and earn up to *£100
• Full interview preparation and assistance - so you're fully prepped and confident, increasing your chances of success.
