Are you someone who enjoys helping children build confidence, overcome challenges and feel more settled in the classroom?
Aspire People are working in partnership with a school in Coalville who are looking for a caring, patient and enthusiastic SEN Teaching Assistant to join their team.
This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who has experience working with children and wants to develop their experience supporting pupils with additional needs. You'll work closely with the class teacher and wider school team to help pupils access their learning, develop their independence and get the most from their school day.

Follow individual support plans and guidance provided by the school
Work alongside the class teacher and SENCO to support individual needs
Monitor pupils' progress and communicate any concerns to the relevant staff
Provide a calm, patient and consistent approach throughout the school day
What we're looking for:
Previous experience working with children is essential
A genuine willingness to work with children with SEN and additional needs
SEN experience would be desirable but is not essential
A relevant qualification such as a Level 2/3 Childcare, Teaching Assistant or SEN qualification would be desirable
Someone who is patient, caring and understanding
A positive attitude and willingness to learn
Someone who can build trusting relationships with children
A good team player who can work closely with teachers and support staff
A valid DBS on the Update Service is desirable, but if you don't currently have one, you must be willing to obtain one
