Special Educational Needs (SEND) Teaching Assistant (TA)

The school’s ‘Gold Standard’ underpins everything. The systems and procedures in place are known and understood by everyone. (Ofsted, February 2020)

We are looking to appoint an SEND TA to support school’s evolving SEND offer. This is a role with lots of opportunity for future progression and development. You will be a key part of shaping our school offer alongside our SENDCo. We want to employ someone who has the ambition, drive and resilience to serve in an inner-city school and who is unwavering in their commitment to improve the outcomes and lives of children. We are looking for this person to support the development of our SEND offer in conjunction with our SENDCo; ensuring all children with complex needs across the school have their needs met.

Are you a passionate and dedicated person who could make a difference to the lives of children? Have you got experience of supporting children with a range of special educational needs? Do you work well with others and are you happy to provide support to the wider staff team? Maybe you’re thinking of a career in teaching and want to gain experience. Seacroft Grange could be for you!

Do you want to work in a school with a Headteacher and Governing Body who set out a crystal-clear direction for the school? (Ofsted, June 2016) Can you help us to achieve our commitment of wanting ‘the best for and the best from everyone in our learning community’?

We are looking for:

• Someone who has experience working with children with SEND and supporting the wider staff team

• A warm, compassionate and driven person who won’t give up on children when supporting them to improve their behaviour
• Someone who is equipped with the personality and skills to build relationships with children, staff and parents
• An ability to use initiative and complete their work to a high standard
• An ambitious person who will add value to our school
• Someone with a good sense of humour who is willing to fully engage in the life of the school community and truly embraces ‘Investment in GOLD standard’.

We can offer you:

• A school where 100% of staff feel proud to work here and feel supported (staff survey 2023)
• Pupils with good attitudes to learning and who understand ‘GOLD standard’ learning behaviour
• An ‘inspirational’ and ‘ambitious’ Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team
• ‘Consistency in strategy and policy’
• Staff with an ‘unwavering commitment’ to school who are hugely supportive and make up a vibrant school team
