Devon, United Kingdom Devon County Council Full time

Variable hours working term time only. Would ideally suit candidates seeking 3-5 days Monday to Friday. Annual leave to be taken during school holidays. 

Does supporting children and making a difference to their lives inspire you? Do you wish you could support pupils on an individual basis and give your pupils what they really need? Would you like to be part of a team who are able to put those needs first? Are you looking for flexible part time work? 

1-2-1 Mentors work with children and young people, helping them to raise their aspirations, and build resilience to achieve their potential. Working alongside mentors, we have a small team of specialist, outreach teachers who offer targeted 1:1 teaching support across all Key Stages. These teachers are experienced in working with pupils with complex social, emotional, behavioural and medical issues. We aim to give the pupils optimum chance of progressing academically and emotionally so that they can achieve success within their school. Teaching support can take place in the home, a local venue, our Exeter based Centre or within the school setting itself. 

We are expanding our Primary Teaching Services in Devon and are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, committed teaching assistant who has the qualities to work effectively with children who can, at times, present with challenging behaviour and experience significant barriers to their learning. Empathy, perseverance, personal resilience and creativity are all essential qualities, alongside primary curriculum knowledge. The successful candidate should have experience of working with primary aged children and a good knowledge and understanding of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. 

As a teaching assistant on the team, you must be able to remain calm in challenging situations, show initiative and be confident of working in a variety of settings. Excellent communication skills, flexibility and the ability to work with key partners in education and social care are essential. 

The role will involve supporting teachers in delivering an academic and social and emotional curriculum as well as supporting pupils in their school setting. 

1-2-1 Mentors are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. For this post, pre-employment checks will be carried out and the successful candidates will need to undertake an enhanced DBS check. A driving licence and the use of a car are essential.
