Job Description

Are you a motivated person looking for a SEN Teaching Assistant role? Are you passionate about supporting children? Do you think you could thrive in a school setting? We are looking for motivated individuals to join SEN schools in the North Cambridge area including the Bar Hill, Longstanton, Impington, Girton, Histon and Swavesey areas. Becoming an SEN Teaching Assistant is an excellent opportunity to make a big difference in a pupil's education, to build upon your teaching support skills and to gain experience in a wide range of teaching methods, aids, and approaches. Working as a SEN Teaching Assistant is a priceless chance to obtain classroom experience if you're interested in teaching children with Special Educational Needs. Your duties as a SEN Teaching Assistant will include: Assist in carrying out educational strategies that are appropriate for each child's learning goals. Develop a connection of trust with every child and speak to them in terms they can understand. Encourage diversity, acceptance, and inclusion, and make sure all the children have equal access to learning and growth. Encourage children's involvement and make sure they are paying attention during the lesson. Provide opportunities for developing independence. Give children, parents, and caregivers feedback about their development, accomplishments, and potential issues as directed by the teaching team. Supply work suits around YOUR availability! You are in full control of your working diary, and can update your availability as appropriate using our efficient booking system. This has proven ideal for those with prior childcare arrangements in place and or those who are generally looking for ad hoc work. Long term bookings will see you working at a friendly school for a set duration of time and days per week, depending on their needs. Interviews and trial days would be arranged to ensure that the school is a good fit for you on a long term basis - we make sure that you feel comfortable. If this role sounds like the one for you - apply today and send your CV to Rachel at rachel.kear@randstad.co.uk or contact her on 01223 368836
