Your new company

Hays Recruitment are proud to be supporting a Widnes-based secondary school as they are looking to recruit several motivated and experienced teaching assistants to support pupils with SEN within their resource provision. This is a long-term full-time contract.

Your new role

As a teaching assistant within this school, you will be supporting pupils with SEN within the KS3 and KS4 resource bases. Typically, you will support ASD, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome and non-verbal. You will work under the instruction of the class teacher to offer a safe, stimulating and engaging learning environment for all pupils by utilising an array of learning equipment and effectively managing behaviours. You will aid in implementing a myriad of positive behaviour techniques, including reward charts and positive behaviour reinforcement to promote behaviours. In the event that behaviours do escalate, you will ensure that this happens in a safe environment by utilising a sensory room or removing the pupil(s) from a triggering environment. You will offer intervention and booster sessions in core subjects and liaise with the class teacher to ensure that all sessions are in line with attainment needs.
