The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Teaching Assistant to work as part of the whole staff team in managing and modifying the behaviour of children and young people and supporting them in their learning. Modelling appropriate social skills and supporting students in making the right choices, resolving conflict and developing thinking skills.

The successful candidate will have experience of working effectively with disaffected pupils who display emotional and behavioural difficulties and/or on the autistic spectrum and to evidence progress and outcomes for those pupils in relation to academic and behavioural progress.
Benefits
The benefits package includes generous annual leave of 24 days (excluding bank holidays). There are excellent pension schemes, including employer contributions (Teachers’ Pension Scheme, Local Government Pension Scheme or Nest). Staff also have access to employee assistance programme, free onsite parking, salary sacrifice cycle to work/ bike loan scheme, lease car scheme and annual season ticket loan.
As the Trust supports a number of children and vulnerable adults, all staff are exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Accordingly, all staff will be subject to an ‘Enhanced’ DBS (formerly CRB) check, along with a Children’s Barred List check if in regulated activity. Any offers of appointment may be withdrawn if these checks prove to be unsatisfactory to the Trust. Self-disclosure will be required as part of the recruitment process. If you fail to make a full disclosure or provide sight of your DBS certificate then your offer of employment is likely to be withdrawn. The Trust's DBS policy covers the recruitment of ex-offenders which is available upon request.
