SEN Teaching Assistants are needed for immediate supply positions for a lovely SEN school we work with in the North Tyneside area. We have positions in this school with children with needs ranging from ASD, MLD, behavioural issues and PMLD/complex needs. Ages of pupils range from Nursery through to 6th form. Roles could vary from whole class supporting roles or providing one to one support to pupils with SEND. The school has two sites close together and you may be asked to move between then over a week wherever support is needed most. Facilities are excellent including a hydrotherapy pool on site and class sizes are very small. Experience in supporting children with any of the above needs would be an advantage but is not essential - a willingness to learn and engage with SEN children is the most important quality we are looking for. Although a Level 2 Teaching Assistant qualification is not essential, it is desirable and we can signpost you to training providers to enhance your skills. Other qualifications such as a degree in Psychology or Education Studies are also acceptable. Posts vary from short term to long term but we require staff that are flexible and willing to learn from experienced staff at the school. In addition, you must: • Provide two referees we can contact • Have a DBS form or be prepared to obtain one Please note that the rate of pay will be dependent on the level of Teaching Assistant qualification you have achieved and the amount of experience you have to
