Teaching Assistant, Andover - SEN School - ASAP start !
Academics are recruiting on behalf of a residential SEN school in Andover which caters for young people aged 11-19 years with Autism or who have strong emotional / behavioural traits of the Autistic Spectrum, typically high functioning Autism (Asperger Syndrome) and other associated needs such as ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and social, emotional and mental health needs.
All young people in the school will have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP).
They are looking for an experienced Teaching Assistant to join them on a full-time, possible temp to perm supply contract starting after half term on Monday 4th November.
You will be required to support pupils across the school in small groups and on a 1:1 basis.

What is needed is an understanding, empathetic and calm Teaching Assistant who is able to build positive relationships and be able to support the teacher in meeting the individual needs of the students, in line with their individualised learning and care plans.
These plans allow each student to have access to a challenging, broad, relevant and differentiated curriculum that is designed to be Asperger Syndrome friendly.
The main school building is a large country house set in 8 acres of grounds which provide a beautiful and secure setting for outdoor activities.
Ideally suited to a driver due to the rural location.
To be considered for this position, you MUST have Maths and English GCSE (or equivalent) Grades C or above or Grades 4 - 9.
If you are a Teaching Assistant who is seeking a full-time position for after half term, please apply with a copy of your updated CV.
