Jobbeschreibung

Support Secondary Learners Where It Matters Most

Are you looking for a fulfilling classroom role in a secondary school environment with straightforward commuter access across Preston and South Ribble?

We are recruiting a Secondary Teaching Assistant to join the dedicated inclusion and learning support team at a high-performing secondary school in Fulwood (PR2).

This role is ideal for experienced Level 2/3 Teaching Assistants, university graduates considering a future PGCE, or youth mentors passionate about breaking down academic and social barriers for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students (ages 11-16).

Working alongside subject teachers and the school SENCO, you will support students with varied learning needs-including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), ADHD, moderate learning difficulties (MLD), and speech & language needs-both within general classrooms and through small-group intervention sessions.

Key Responsibilities

• In-Class Targeted Support: Circulate secondary classrooms (covering English, Maths, Science, and Humanities) to assist pupils who require differentiated guidance to access the national curriculum.

• 1:1 and Small-Group Interventions: Deliver pre-structured booster sessions focusing on literacy, numeracy, study skills, and exam prep.

• SEMH & Pastoral Care: Foster a calm, focused working environment; assist neurodivergent students with emotional regulation, sensory adaptations, and anxiety management.

• EHCP Milestone Tracking: Work closely with the SENCO to monitor pupil progress against specific Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) targets.

• Promoting Independence: Scaffold tasks to build confidence and resilience, ensuring students learn to think independently rather than relying entirely on adult guidance.

Who We Are Looking For

• Qualifications: Level 2 or Level 3 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (or equivalent), or a relevant Bachelor's Degree (Psychology, Education, English, Sociology, Sports Science).

• Experience: Experience working with secondary-aged pupils (11-16) in a school, tuition centre, youth group, sports coaching, or care setting.

• Communication & Presence: Approachable, patient, and articulate, with the confidence to build strong, professional relationships with young people and secondary teaching staff.

• Location: Accessible to Fulwood / North Preston via the M6 (J32), A6 Garstang Road, or local Preston bus routes.

• Safeguarding: Enhanced Child Workforce DBS registered on the Update Service (or willing to complete an immediate application).

What We Offer

• Direct Route to Permanent: Try before you commit via an initial 12-week agency transition leading directly onto a permanent school support contract.

• Free On-Site Parking: Easily accessible school campus with free staff parking in Fulwood.
