Teaching Assistant – specialising in behaviour

Rotherham

Full time term time only

We are seeking passionate and dedicated teaching assistants who are eager to make a meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable children. If you are committed to supporting and empowering students in a pupil referral unit setting, this is a fantastic opportunity to build a rewarding career while helping young people thrive and succeed. Join us in creating an environment where every child is encouraged to reach its full potential!

Children attending a pupil referral unit present with social, emotional & mental health difficulties in students aged between Key Stage 2 up to Key Stage 4. The role involves providing stability, education and empowerment while also taking into account the learner’s individualised, differentiated learning styles. This is to ensure each learner is integrated socially, emotionally and educationally.

The initial assignment will be to see how well you fit into the setting, which means you need to be fully committed and enthusiastic about making a difference in children’s lives and willing to use your own initiative. If the setting you are placed in sees your potential, they will take you on permanently and provide a clear career progression plan.
