Prospero Teaching are looking for resilient and experienced Teaching Assistants to work in one of our inspirational SEN Schools in Hexham from after October half-term on a full-time basis. The role will involve working across KS1 and KS2.

This role will involve:
· Supporting young people with challenging behaviour and SEND on both a 1:1 basis and in small groups.
· Managing challenging behaviour in a positive and consistent manner.

· Having a "hands on" approach to supporting children in their learning, with a willingness to interact with pupils and engage with them.
· Working with Class Teachers and other Teaching Assistants to ensure pupils receive the best possible educational experience.

Additionally, some pupils may be none-verbal, some may require personal care and others may display challenging behaviour. As a result, your adaptability, resilience and relationship-building skills as a practitioner will be key.
It is a brilliantly supportive, inspiring, and enjoyable environment for both students and staff. This is a role that will give you the opportunity to make a positive difference to the lives of children every day.

This role requires:
· An Enhanced DBS (ideally on the Update Service but this is not essential as we can process a new one for you)
· An ability to build positive relationships and a rapport with pupils and staff.
· A resilient, proactive, and positive nature
· Experience in classrooms supporting students.
· High levels of enthusiasm, energy and positivity when working with pupils.
· A genuine passion for helping young people to fulfil their potential and flourish in education.
