Job description

A SEN Teaching Assistant is needed for supply positions for a lovely client SEN school we work with in the South Tyneside area. We have positions in this SEN school with children with needs ranging from ASD and MLD and PMLD. Experience in supporting children with any of the above needs would be an advantage but is not essential - a willingness to learn and engage with SEN children is the most important quality we are looking for.

The school has a big outdoor area for the children to do some outdoor learning and very friendly and supportive staff.

The ideal candidate would:

• Have good classroom management skills
• Have a passion for working as a Teaching Assistant

In addition, to work for us as a SEN Teaching Assistant you must:

• Provide two referees we can contact

• Have a DBS form or be prepared to obtain one

Please note that the rate of pay will be dependent on the level of Teaching Assistant qualification you have achieved and the amount of experience you have to date.
