Behaviour Mentor

SEN Teaching Assistant
Location: Worthing
Hours: Monday to Friday 08:30 – 15:30
Start Date: November

We are currently recruiting for an experienced SEN Teaching Assistant to work as a 1:1 support to a pupil in a mainstream primary school.

The head-teacher is looking for an educator who has experience supporting pupils with ASD and challenging behaviour. You will need to be reliable and able to provide a consistent support to the pupil throughout the school day.

The role will entail working within a Year 2 class where you will support the pupil as a 1:1 and within smaller group sessions. The pupil is quite challenging, so we are looking for an educator who is very resilient but also flexible. The reason that flexibility is important is due to the pupil sometimes completing tasks outside of the classroom and using nearby sensory rooms. 

What are the school looking for?

• An educator who has experience supporting pupils with ASD (not solely school-based experience)
• Someone who is resilient and is willing to go the extra mile when supporting the pupil
• An educator who is able to build trustworthy relationships with the pupil and the family
• A bubbly and friendly personality
• An educator who has a strong presence and can persevere through challenging situations
• Can demonstrate self-determination
