Job Description

We are searching for experienced SEN Teaching Assistants to join this amazing rural school.

The school provides a therapeutic education for children with a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs, as well other associated difficulties and challenging behaviours. Each child receives an individual learning plan and separate therapeutic support plan in line with the outcomes of their EHCP's.

They have recently had a successful Material Change inspection meaning they now have up to 40 pupils on roll currently. Some of the pupils reside at the care home on site whilst others travel in as day pupils.

The school welcomes children with a range of needs including ASD and ADHD. They also work closely with the care home supporting LAC who have had troubled upbringings and suffered trauma in their early years.

The core purpose of the school is to equip every pupil with the skills and knowledge they need to lead healthy and productive lives. We believe all children have the right to an education. We look beyond the complex, and sometimes challenging circumstances of each pupil to find the potential within.

The majority of pupils have experienced turbulence in their schooling and many have severe, complex, or profound needs that have a significant impact on their cognitive development, their social, emotional development and their communication skills. The aim is to support pupils in a safe school environment, and work closely with parents, carers and other professionals to ensure the best outcomes, to maximise life chances and ensure they can be as independent as possible.

If you have experience working with children with additional educational needs, SEMH, EBD, ASD, MLD and ADHD and are looking for a wonderful school, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
