Level 2 Teaching Assistant - Beaufort School

The Governors are seeking to appoint Level 2 Teaching Assistants to join our team at Beaufort School. The pupils at Beaufort School have learning difficulties and are aged between the ages of 3 and 11 years old. Many of our children have profound and multiple learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties or present on the autistic spectrum and have communication difficulties. All of the children who attend Beaufort School have an Education and Health Care Plan. Our school educates 94 children with complex and multiple needs. Children may have Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) or a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Some children have additional needs including visual impairment and hearing impairment and behaviour difficulties. Children attending our school will usually require augmented and modified curriculum opportunities including an overarching mobility curriculum and a sensory experiential curriculum for our more profound learners. Beaufort School underpins all its curriculum delivery through continually developing its communication work so that pupils may access their learning in a way personalised to their needs. We are passionate about meeting the needs of those children with the most complex needs. Our staff provide a caring and safe learning environment and work in partnership with our parents and carers to ensure that all our children can reach their full potential.

We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and committed individuals to join our existing team, as soon as possible.

You will be required to:

• have a good understanding of SEND and use this to engage children in learning activities that promote independence and life long learning skills
• have excellent communication skills and use these to support the pupils in the classroom and across the school
• role model communication and behaviour strategies that support pupils' learning in lessons
• ensure the safety and well-being of all our children by following the school's safeguarding procedures and policies

In return we can offer:

• a school environment that supports your CPD and professionals needs, through training and peer to peer support
• the opportunity to work with wonderful children who need support to reach their full potential
• a school that values your input and dedication

Appropriate training and development both inhouse and from professionals such as SALT and OT.

Informal visits are welcomed.
