Help Young People Build Confidence, Discover Their Strengths and Take Their Next Steps Towards Independence!
Are you passionate about supporting young people to achieve their potential? Looking for a rewarding role where your encouragement, patience and enthusiasm can make a genuine difference?
At Care First – Great Barr Campus, we're looking for a caring, motivated and resilient Teaching Assistant to join our Further Education team, supporting learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, autism and associated challenges.
This is much more than a classroom support role. You'll help learners develop the confidence, independence and practical skills they need to prepare for their future, while supporting them to overcome barriers and celebrate their achievements.
Working alongside teachers, therapists and our wider support team, you'll play an important part in creating a welcoming, inclusive and engaging learning environment where every learner feels valued and encouraged to succeed.
With permanent, term-time-only working, this is a fantastic opportunity to build a rewarding career while enjoying more time for life outside of work.
Your role will include:
Make learning accessible by providing individual and small-group support, helping learners engage with lessons and achieve their personal goals.
Build confidence and independence, encouraging learners to develop practical, social and emotional skills for everyday life.
Create positive learning experiences, working alongside teachers to prepare resources and deliver engaging activities.
Support emotional wellbeing and positive behaviour, helping learners develop self-regulation skills and overcome challenges.
Celebrate individual progress, contributing to personalised learning plans, behaviour support strategies and accurate progress records.
Provide practical and pastoral support...
