Job Title: Teaching Assistant
Location: Oakham Shires School, Rutland, LE15 6JB
Salary: £19,500.00 per annum
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday 8.30am - 4.30pm
Contract: Permanent, Term Time only
Start date: January 2025
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
About the Role
As part of our continued growth, we now have a fantastic opportunity for a Teaching Assistant to join our close-knit team at The Shires, part of Options Autism.
As a Teaching Assistant at Oakham Shires, you will be supporting our Pupils to reach their full Academic potential.
Supporting pupils within a classroom setting, you will ensure that each pupil is supported in the way most appropriate for them. The needs of our pupils vary from individual to individual, and from day to day, so you will ensure that they understand the tasks being undertaken, and that they have all of the resources that they require.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for staff with a knowledge and understanding of Autism and developmental trauma, who can apply that knowledge in all their dealings and interactions with the young people we support. We use an “in their own time and space” philosophy to support our pupils to navigate their lives. We focus on understanding behaviour for communication and use this to help support their social and emotional development. We have a strong safeguarding culture, where pupils are listened to, respected and involved in as many decisions as possible.
You will be educated to GCSE grade C or above in Maths and English and ideally you will have experience of supporting autistic teenagers that have struggled throughout their school journey to achieve their academic and life goals; you will play a pivotal role in working with our pupils to meet their Education Health Care Plan outcomes empowering and equipping them with the tools they need to be happy, healthy and make their way in the world.
Essential:
GCSE Maths & English
UK Driving licence - we require this as our pupils often have days out into the local area, this will allow you to make sure they are experiencing fulfilling days out and activities
