Description:
Rising Hope Education is recruiting an Autism & Communication Teaching Assistant to join a specialist SEND school in East London from September.
You'll work within a Year 4 class, supporting children with autism and associated communication, sensory and emotional regulation needs.
We're looking for somebody who gets SEND.
Someone who understands that a child becoming dysregulated, withdrawing or refusing an activity isn't necessarily simply being "difficult".
Instead, you're willing to ask:
What is this child trying to communicate?
You'll support pupils with their communication, structured learning, sensory needs, emotional regulation, transitions, social development and independence.
You may also gain exposure to different approaches to communication and autism support, including visual communication, AAC, Makaton, Attention Autism and Intensive Interaction.
You don't necessarily need to arrive knowing all of these approaches.
You need to want to learn them.
We'd particularly like to hear from:
* Experienced SEND Teaching Assistants
* Autism Support Workers
* Learning Support Assistants
* Psychology graduates
* Care or support workers
* Behaviour mentors
* Graduates considering careers within SEND
The successful candidate will be calm, emotionally intelligent, resilient and genuinely interested in understanding autism and communication.
For somebody wanting to build a long-term career within SEND, this is an excellent opportunity to develop substantial specialist experience.
