Wyre Forest Worcestershire, United Kingdom Aspire People Full time

Aspire people are working with a new provider for 8-18-year-old pupils with Special Educational Needs located in Stottesdon. The school is a small special school, which provides a personalised education for up to 12 pupils with severe complexity of needs, primarily learning disabilities but also associated health or physical disabilities, and other behaviours which challenge.
Our children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties.
The work the school do is both varied and challenging and, as a trauma and attachment informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support. There closely triangulated approach places the child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most importantly, our students can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.

TAs in the school will understand that the children require lots of attention, just the right sort of communication, consistency and flexibility in equal measure, and a non-judgemental approach. You need to be resilient, persistent and solution focussed to meet the needs of the pupils and to do so you need to wear a lot of hats and be prepared to change them at a moment's notice
Our Teaching Assistants will
* Support teaching and learning.
* Work with children 1:1 or delivering sessions with small groups of students.
* Take children on educational trips and visits
* Have their lunch with children who struggle socially.

* Create, play and teach games to pupils to develop their social skills or further learning
* Create amazing displays which support teaching and create an exceptional learning environment
* Participate in therapeutic training sessions or reflecting on difficult periods
We want our TAs to be part of the decision making that drives our school, provides outcomes for children and advocates for every child. We welcome their input in developing both the academic curriculum and the opportunities in our extra-curricular offer - bringing their own interests and passions to the table.
