Aspire collaborates with an innovative provider serving 8-18-year-old pupils with Special Educational Needs in Stottesdon. This specialized institution provides tailored education for a maximum of 12 pupils with profound needs, including learning disabilities, associated health concerns, and challenging behaviors. Students, hailing from diverse backgrounds, all exhibit Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs (SEMH), often alongside other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) like Autism, ADHD, and communication challenges. Operating as a trauma and attachment-informed organization, all staff undergo extensive therapeutic training and support.

The school's integrated approach places the child at the heart of decision-making, ensuring cooperation among education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams, and, importantly, students, to achieve exceptional outcomes for all.

This full-time position offers potential for permanent placement for suitable candidates, with a vehicle preferred due to location.

The Role:
Teaching Assistants at our school comprehend the dynamic nature of their role and the individual needs of each child. They play a crucial role in supporting students with intricate and demanding behaviors. TAs are tasked with providing appropriate communication, consistency, and flexibility, alongside resilience, persistence, and solution-focused approaches.

Responsibilities include supporting teaching and learning, working with students individually or in small groups, managing classroom resources, facilitating educational outings, offering lunchtime support for socially challenged students, ensuring safety during challenging behavioral episodes, fostering social skills through games and activities, creating stimulating displays to enrich the learning environment, and participating in therapeutic training sessions.

TAs are esteemed members of our team, encouraged to contribute to decision-making processes and advocate for every child's needs. They are invited to assist in developing both the academic curriculum and extracurricular opportunities, leveraging their interests and passions.

Benefits and Rewards:
Opportunities for career advancement, competitive salary, extensive training, small class sizes with specialized TA support, involvement in a growing national organization, regular therapeutic and supportive supervision, and access to employee benefit services including wellbeing programs and salary sacrifice schemes.

Safeguarding:
Aspire is deeply committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment, undergo necessary background checks, and adhere to the school's Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy.
