Job description

Special Needs Learning Support - Teaching Assistant - Innovative & Progressive School

Guildford

The Focus:

Teaching assistants support teachers and help children with their educational and social development, both in and out of the classroom. In secondary schools, teaching assistants are often known as learning support assistants.

What's involved?

The roles and responsibilities of teaching assistants are varied and differ between schools. Your job can include:

* getting the classroom ready for lessons
* listening to children read, reading to them or telling them stories
* helping children who need extra support to complete tasks
* helping teachers to plan learning activities and complete records
* supporting teachers in managing class behaviour
* supervising group activities
* looking after children who are upset or have had accidents
* clearing away materials and equipment after lessons
* helping with outings and sports events
* taking part in training
* carrying out administrative tasks

To support pupils one-on-one or in small groups. Many schools employ teaching assistants with particular specialisms, including literacy, numeracy, special educational needs, music or creative arts, and if you are bilingual, you might do more work with children whose first language is not English.

If you are an experienced and specially trained teaching assistant, you may be given the opportunity to supervise a class for a teacher who is off sick or undertaking training. While every class must be allocated a qualified teacher, higher level teaching assistants (HLTAs) would be expected occasionally to lead a lesson.

The nuts and bolts:

* Monday to Friday
* School hours 08h30 to 15h30
* £60 to £80 daily rate

The red tape:

* You need to be eligible to work in the UK
* Have your National Insurance number
* Provide recent and relevant references

Do you believe you have the skill set, personality and motivation to succeed within this role? If so, we would love to hear from you.
