Five Education is looking for a teaching assistant to work 1:1 with students at a mainstream primary school in Weston-Super-Mare. Previous experience working in schools, particularly working within a SEND context, is desirable but not essential. This role involves working with children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and therefore patience, kindness and adaptability are essential qualities.
While this is first of all a classroom role, you may also be asked to support the students throughout playtime and lunchtime to ensure their safety.
Main Responsibilities
- Support students 1:1 by making the curriculum accessible, using creative approaches to make learning fun
- Always ensure the safety and well-being of students
- Helping students to develop social skills and self-regulation skills
- Work collaboratively with teachers, SENCo and other staff members to address the individual needs of students
- Encourage socialisation and good behaviour through positivity and praise
Essential Criteria
- Empathic, patient and have a strong interest in supporting children
- Able to work 5 days a week (term time only), Monday-Friday 8:30-15:30
- Right to work in the UK - we CANNOT accept sponsorship or a skilled worker visa
- Minimum two recent references, covering the last two years
- Up-to-date DBS/police check, or be willing to obtain one*
*Please note, if you do not have a Non-Voluntary Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, we will need to help you process a new one at a cost of £62.70. This will be refunded after 20 days of work with us.
What can Five Education offer you?
- Check out our Google reviews for one of the best supply experiences in Bristol! We offer free specialised training in areas such as Team Teach, Makaton, PMLD/SLD Awareness, Autism Awareness, and more
- Free DBS (refunded when you work 20 days)
- Recommending a friend bonus scheme
- Specialist support/ mentoring while you are working
If you think this could be a job for you, please get in touch to find out more from Dani at 01174226167. We are always available for an informal chat if you want to find out more about whether this role is suited to you.
Pay: Five Education operates a PAYE payroll; this is the most transparent way to be paid with no hidden fees such as admin fee or employer's NI. Please note pay rate is for illustration and does include holiday pay.
Vetting: Five Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all of the staff we employ to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be required to undergo checks including reference checks, TRA checks and will need to have a DBS; there will also be an interview.
We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as they are currently under-represented at this level.
