About the role – SEN Teaching Assistant

In this role you will be supporting a child who has a specialist Education Health Care Plan. He is on the Autistic Spectrum and has difficulty communicating with his peers and teachers. This role involves possessing excellent communication skills to ensure the little boy is given strategies and techniques to express his feelings. This may involve activities such as social stories, PECS and Makaton. Do not worry if you haven’t used these strategies before as you will be fully trained by the experienced SENCo.

The school is a successful one with good leadership and Ofsted have commented how the behaviour at the school is good. It’s also really easy to get to being just a few minutes from major public transport links from central Newcastle.
