SEN Classroom Assistant

Job description

Have you considered an education in the classroom but don't know where to start? Do you want to support children in need of a strong role model?

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as an SEN Classroom Assistant at a Special Needs School in Melksham. The school are looking for a caring, proactive and friendly individual, with a natural ability to connect with and support vulnerable children.

The school provides education for children aged 3 to 16 with a range of disabilities, including Autism, communication challenges, social interaction difficulties and language delay. The students need a positive role model in the classroom, who can support their learning, academic progress, social development and independence.

As an SEN Classroom Assistant you will:

• Encourage students to engage and socialise with their peers appropriately
• Build students' confidence, self-esteem and self-belief
• Encourage positive behaviours through effective behaviour management strategies
• Ensure safety and well-being of students during activities
• Participate in relevant SEN training provided by the school

To be a successful SEN Classroom Assistant, you should be determined, resilience and adaptable, tailoring your approach to meet the needs of each child. Previous experience working with children as well as a general understanding of special educational needs would be beneficial but not essential, as the school offers training opportunities to support your growth.
