Birmingham, United Kingdom Zen Educate Full time

**The Roles: Immediate Starts**

A progressive and pioneering special school in Birmingham, near Sheldon, is looking for full-time SEN (Special Educational Needs) Teaching Assistants to support students with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties) who require manual handling.

The role would involve 1:1 work with a student, therefore being flexible and active is key. The pupil age range is between 2-11. The school offers a curriculum and wrap-around support for pupils that is bespoke to their needs and abilities, as all students either have a statement of Special Educational Need or an EHCP (Education and Health Care Plan). What’s paramount to them is ensuring that pupils experience a curriculum which is concrete (experiential), pictorial or abstract depending on their need.

This leading SEN school prides itself on valuing creative, flexible and passionate staff, who are dedicated in nurturing the best outcomes for the pupils. This school has fantastic opportunities for professional development & continuous support from the senior leadership team and specialist colleagues. Pay can go up to £120 a day, depending on experience and if you can impress during a paid trial, which the school is more than happy to arrange to give you a real taste. Experience is by no means required, so this is a great opportunity if you’re looking to kick start a career in special education or just develop your existing skills further.

The school’s hours of this role are 8.30am - 4pm.

**The ideal SEN Teaching Assistant should**:

- Have experience or a passion for working with children with SEN
- Be able to offer manual handling
- Be flexible, proactive and patient
- Be nurturing and caring in your approaches
- Be able to communicate effectively within a team
- Be open to providing personal care
- Have a Background in Education, Care, Psychology or Drama, as these are very transferable.
- Training or experience in non-verbal communication is preferred, but a willingness to learn is essential. For example Makaton, PECS
