Job description

As a Level 2 Teaching Assistant, you will support teaching staff and work closely with the wider Inclusion, SEND, and Pastoral teams to enhance the development and education of students, including those with EHCPs and additional needs.

You will work within a structured and supportive environment, helping to promote positive behaviour, engagement, and wellbeing. You will support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and contribute to improving attendance and raising standards.

Your duties will include supporting student induction, assessment, intervention, and ongoing learning, as well as assisting with the planning and delivery of learning activities for individuals and small groups.
