SEN Teaching Assistants
Primary schools in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
£85-100 per day
Key Stage 1&2 pupils
On-going work
NVQ Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification or a degree in Psychology or Special Educational Needs would be ideal but not essential.

My client primary schools are keen to meet caring, committed and enthusiastic teaching assistants who are interested in supporting pupils with special needs. These community primary schools are driven by providing an inclusive education to all pupils.

The school would love to meet any Teaching Assistants that have practical and theoretical knowledge of SEND, especially those with an interest in Autism. They are looking for the recruited teaching assistant to work on a part time basis but at times there are longer term full time roles in order that they establish a good working bond with the pupils they support.

If you’re a psychology graduate looking to gain a few years’ experience en-route to becoming an Educational Psychologist this could be the perfect school for you.

I am looking for those candidates that, ideally, have worked in either primary settings or early years settings previously.

If this SEN/SEMH Teaching Assistant position in Melton Mowbray primary schools are of interest and you have the required skills, qualifications and motivation then please apply online or call Patrick at Smile Education for more details – 0116 507 1692 - patrick@smile-education.co.uk
