We are working in partnership with a welcoming and inclusive mainstream secondary school in South East Birmingham that is looking to appoint a dedicated and compassionate Teaching Assistant to join their supportive team from September.

This is a rewarding opportunity to provide 1:1 and small group support to students with a range of additional needs, helping them to access learning, build confidence, and achieve their full potential.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with teaching staff and the SEND team to support students with a variety of additional needs, including:

• Social, Emotional and Behavioural needs (SEMH)
• Lower cognitive ability
• Low-level Autism (ASD)
• Dyslexia
• ADHD
• Some students with physical disabilities
• Personal care support (if you are comfortable providing this)

You will play an important role in creating a positive and inclusive learning environment while encouraging students to develop academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience working with children or young people with additional needs (school, care, youth work or similar experience is welcomed)
• Is patient, empathetic and resilient
• Can build positive relationships with students and staff
• Is confident supporting students with behavioural, social and emotional needs
• Is comfortable providing personal care where required (desirable but not essential)
• Is committed to helping every student succeed

If you are passionate about supporting young people with additional needs and are looking for a rewarding role in a supportive mainstream secondary school, we would love to hear from you.

Apply today to be considered for this September start.
