Axcis Education is recruiting for Teaching Assistants to join a specialist SEND school in Southport. The school is seeking both full-time and part-time Teaching Assistants to support children and young people aged 4 to 19 years with a range of additional needs.
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals from a care background who are looking to move into education, as well as experienced Teaching Assistants and support workers with a passion for supporting young people with special educational needs.
The school provides an inclusive and supportive education environment for autistic pupils across the spectrum. Students may also have additional needs including learning difficulties, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, global developmental delay (GDD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and associated behavioural needs.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will provide classroom and individual support to pupils, helping them develop confidence, communication skills and independence. The role will involve working predominantly with children and young people with autism, with some pupils requiring additional support with emotional regulation and challenging behaviour.
This position would be particularly suited to candidates with previous experience in care, healthcare, residential support or similar roles due to the level of support required. Previous experience working with children or young adults is desirable but not essential, as the school values the right attitude, willingness to learn and a caring approach.
As a School Care Assistant / Teaching Assistant, you must be comfortable supporting pupils with personal care when required. You may work across different age groups, so flexibility and adaptability are essential.
The school is looking for new Teaching Assistants to start as soon as possible. Permanent contracts may be offered to candidates who demonstrate commitment and succeed in the role.
This large SEND school provides excellent training, development opportunities and career progression to help staff deliver the best possible outcomes for students. The successful candidates will be enthusiastic, patient, caring and dedicated to making a positive difference.
A successful Teaching Assistant will have:
* Experience working in a special school, SEND setting, care environment or support role (preferred).
* Knowledge of autism and experience supporting children or adults with additional needs (required).
* Experience supporting individuals with learning difficulties, communication needs or complex needs.
* Training or experience in non-verbal communication methods such as PECS or Makaton (desirable).
* Experience with hoisting, movement and handling (desirable).
* A willingness to support with personal care.
* A proactive, enthusiastic and compassionate approach.
* Reliability, patience and consistency.
