Teaching Assistant/learning Mentor at Harbour School Dorset
2 weeks ago
**Teaching Assistant/Learning Mentor, Harbour School Dorset**
**Role overview**:
Your role as a Teaching Assistant will involve helping students engage with their learning, supporting their emotional well-being, and feel confident in school.
You’ll be a key part of the classroom team, and a calming presence in moments of emotional turbulence, because let’s face it, the classroom can be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. You’ll be the glue that holds everything together, the calm in the storm, the person who can help our students navigate their school day without it feeling overwhelming.
**Key responsibilities**:
- be the superhero sidekick students need in the classroom, helping them access learning in their own unique way, whether it’s helping them stay focused, managing behaviour, or just being there to listen
- assist in delivering personalised support for students with ASC and SEMH; making learning fun and accessible and helping them feel at home in the classroom. Be the emotional support they didn’t know they needed
- use your organisational skills to manage the day-to-day needs of students and keep things running smoothly. Think of yourself as the backstage manager of a very lively show, but with fewer glittery costumes.
- help create a positive, inclusive classroom environment where students feel safe to be themselves, even if that “self” involves a few wobbly moments
- collaborate with teachers, other staff members, because teamwork makes the dream work
**What we’re looking for**:
- excellent communication skills, you can talk, listen, and maybe even translate a bit of teenage language
- reliability, great organisational skills, and the ability to juggle. Not just balls or flaming torches, unless you’re into that, but multiple tasks at once with the kind of grace only a true multitasker has
- experience of working with children, not essential, especially those who’ve faced challenges. If you’ve worked with kids who have additional needs or disabilities, you’re basically our superhero in disguise
- the ability to stay calm and collected in high-pressure situations, some days can be challenging but you can bounce back when things are tricky
- a genuine passion for working with young people and the patience of a saint, or at least the patience of someone who’s had their fair share of ‘fascinating’ classroom moments
- the ability to adapt your style to each student, because no two days, or students, are the same
- enthusiasm and the right attitude are just as important
**Why join us?**
- the chance to make a huge difference in the lives of young people, one small victory at a time
- comprehensive support, Induction and training package
- we’re a supportive team who’ll have your back during the good, the bad, and the “Did that really just happen?” moments
- professional development opportunities because we’re all about helping you grow, both as a person and in your ability to juggle six things at once
If successfully shortlisted the HR Department will also be conducting an individual online search including social media platforms of your ‘name, education and employment’, to demonstrate due diligence following ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education' guidance. The search will not form part of the actual shortlisting process and any concerns arising from the search will be discussed directly with you.
