About the role

Connex Education are seeking compassionate, patient and enthusiastic SEND Teaching Assistants to work within specialist schools and alternative provisions in Berkeley and the surrounding Gloucestershire area.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of children and young people who require additional support with their learning, communication, emotional wellbeing and development.

The pupils you support may have a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including Autism (ASC), ADHD, speech and language needs, sensory processing difficulties, learning disabilities and social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Some pupils may require additional support with communication, emotional regulation, personal development or accessing classroom activities.

Working alongside teachers, other Teaching Assistants and wider support teams, you will provide tailored support to help pupils engage with learning, develop independence and build confidence. Previous experience in a specialist school or SEND setting is desirable, but a positive attitude, resilience and a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs are essential.

• Follow safeguarding procedures and school policies at all times.

Requirements

• Previous experience working with children or young people is desirable, particularly within a SEND, school, care or support setting.


• A genuine interest in supporting pupils with additional needs and helping them achieve their potential.


• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.


• A patient, calm and nurturing approach.
