Are you a dedicated and compassionate individual looking to make a real difference in the lives of young people? We are an all-through school (ages 5-16) in the North of Bath, committed to providing exceptional education for pupils with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs. We're looking for a talented Teaching Assistant to join our supportive team.

As a Teaching Assistant, you'll play a vital role in fostering a positive and effective learning environment. Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting pupils with their academic work, offering both individual and group assistance.

• Creating a safe and supportive learning environment specifically tailored for students with SEMH needs.

• Collaborating closely with teachers to develop and implement individualised education plans (IEPs).

• Assisting with classroom management and implementing effective behaviour support strategies.

• Building positive relationships with pupils and their families, fostering trust and open communication.

• Participating enthusiastically in school events and activities.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about supporting children with SEMH needs and possess:

• Experience working with children with SEMH needs.

• A genuinely patient, understanding, and empathetic approach.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, allowing you to connect effectively with pupils, colleagues, and families.

• Strong classroom management skills to maintain a productive learning atmosphere.

• The ability to work effectively as part of a team, contributing to a collaborative school environment.

• A relevant qualification in education or a related field is desirable, but not essential if you have the right experience and mindset.

We value our staff and offer:
