Agency: Empowering Learning
Empowering Learning is working with a secondary school in Slough to recruit a Teaching Assistant to support a KS4 ASD class with significant behavioural needs.
This is a challenging but rewarding role, supporting students who may display challenging behaviour and require consistent, calm and confident support. The successful candidate will work closely with the class teacher and SEN team to help pupils stay engaged, manage their emotions and access learning.
What the role involves:
Supporting KS4 pupils with ASD on a one-to-one and small-group basis
Helping pupils manage behaviour, emotions and transitions throughout the school day
Encouraging positive engagement in lessons and learning activities
Supporting pupils with communication, social interaction and independence
Working alongside teachers, SENCOs and other support staff
Following behaviour, safeguarding and SEN policies
Providing consistent support and helping maintain a safe, structured environment
What we're looking for:
Previous experience supporting pupils with ASD or challenging behaviour
Confidence working in a demanding classroom environment
A calm, patient and resilient approach
Strong behaviour management and de-escalation skills
Team Teach training is desirable but not essential
Ability to build trust and rapport with pupils
A proactive, reliable and team-focused attitude
Enhanced DBS on the update service or willingness to apply
This role would suit someone with experience in SEN support, youth work, care, mentoring or a similar background who is confident supporting young people with complex needs.
