Overview

Join This Supportive Team as a SEND Teaching Assistant in East Sussex

Are you enthusiastic about helping children with special needs? This new special school is looking for passionate SEND Teaching Assistants to become part of their team. You'll be working in an innovative and modern setting, catering to primary or secondary age students.

In this role, you'll work with a dedicated team to create and deliver creative educational programs for children who benefit from alternative education approaches. The focus is on a nurturing and positive environment to help students reach their full potential.

What They're Looking For

• Committed and Resilient Individuals: The Head Teacher is seeking staff who can use therapeutic teaching strategies while maintaining a caring and empathetic classroom environment.
• Experienced Practitioners: You should have a strong dedication to supporting students with behavioural, emotional, learning, and social communication difficulties.
• Inspirational Motivators: The ability to inspire and drive students toward high achievement is crucial.
• Strong Administrative and Communication Skills: Excellent organisational and communication skills are key in this role.

If you are an exceptional practitioner or have the potential to become one, and if you thrive in challenging yet rewarding environments, we want to hear from you. The school offers modern facilities, comprehensive CPD opportunities, and a collaborative work culture where your input helps shape the school's future.

Why Join Them

Working at this Academy can be demanding due to the vulnerabilities and sometimes challenging behaviours of their students. However, if you have a natural instinct to see beyond these behaviours and provide care, love, and support, you'll find this role incredibly fulfilling.

The staff needs to be robust, nurturing, and dedicated to offering a first-class education. The SLT value love, social justice, community, and identity, providing their students with the chance to thrive.

Joining this team means becoming part of a unique family. Their commitment to therapeutic practice and creating a safe environment gives their learners real opportunities for their future. They foster a collaborative and innovative teaching ethos and support their staff through development and an open, transparent culture.
