As a Science TA your focus will be on guiding and working with students who need a bit more help, as well as supporting the needs of the class. You will play a crucial role in supporting the learning and development of students with SEN within a mainstream secondary environment. Your role could involve working within a specific student within the science department, within multiple different age groups, or with individual students on a intervention basis. As an Science TA no day is the same, and the role would best suit someone who adapts easily and is proactive.

As a Science TA, you will be working in a supportive and nurturing secondary school, working closely with both staff and students to improve learning outcomes for all. The staff are close knit, and have a mutualy respectful relationship with the student body. The school is well connected by transport links, including over and under ground, railway and buses. This would be a full time, long term position within a warm and welcoming environment.

Whilst experience with children and young people is always appreciated, the most important thing for a Science TA to have is a desire to support young people. This would also be a great role for someone interested in going into teaching.

Key Responsibilities:

• Providing one-to-one or small group support to students, both in and out of the classroom.
• Implementing tailored learning strategies and interventions as directed by the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).
• Collaborating with teachers and other support staff to ensure the individual needs of students are met effectively.
• Assisting with the planning and delivery of differentiated activities to support student progress.
• Promoting a positive and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and supported.

Requirements:

• A Science degree (min lower second)
• Enhanced DBS on the update service
• Right to work in the UK
• Strong understanding of various Special Educational Needs and associated support strategies.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport with students, staff, and parents/carers.
• Patient, empathetic, and adaptable approach to supporting the diverse needs of students.
