Help young people achieve things they never thought possible!
Are you passionate about supporting children and young people with additional needs? Do you have the patience, compassion and resilience to help individuals overcome challenges, develop confidence and reach their full potential?
We are recruiting enthusiastic and dedicated SEND Teaching Assistants to join a specialist school in Spilsby, supporting pupils aged 2-19 with a range of complex special educational needs and disabilities.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a school where every pupil is treated as an individual, achievements are celebrated and learning is tailored to help each young person develop in their own way.
A school where every achievement matters
The school offers some fantastic practical learning opportunities. Older pupils can take part in internal work placements, enterprise activities and real-world learning, including helping to run the school's café and tuck shop!
Staff are encouraged to bring their own skills and experience into the school, working collaboratively to create engaging learning experiences and help pupils achieve beyond expectations.
Who are we looking for?
Ideally, you will have previous experience working within a SEND school or specialist educational setting.
However, we are equally interested in hearing from candidates with transferable experience who have supported vulnerable children and young people in other environments.
Relevant backgrounds could include:
* SEND or mainstream education.
* Residential childcare or specialist care settings.
* Working with young offenders or young people displaying challenging behaviour.
* Supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children or young migrants.
* Family support services and social care.
* Youth work, mentoring or behavioural support.
* Experience supporting individuals with autism, learning disabilities or complex needs.
You don't necessarily need previous classroom experience. A caring nature, patience, resilience and the ability to build positive relationships are just as important.
What will the role involve?
* Supporting pupils with their learning and everyday activities.
* Providing individual and small-group support.
* Helping pupils develop communication and social skills.
* Encouraging independence and practical life skills.
* Supporting emotional, social and personal development.
* Helping pupils engage with activities suited to their individual learning needs.
* Working alongside teachers and other professionals to provide a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.
* Celebrating individual achievements and encouraging pupils to reach their potential.
What's on offer?
* £95-£110 per day, depending on experience.
* Full-time, Monday to Friday.
* School hours: 8:30am-3:30pm.
* Long-term, consistent work.
* Potential to become permanent for the right candidate.
* The opportunity to gain valuable experience in specialist SEND education.
* A rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference to young people's lives.
