Fancy working on a 1:1 basis with a child and making a real difference? We need someone skilled & generally fantastic to work in this role. Here are the key things we're looking for:
- Level 2 trained teaching assistant (ideally level 3)
- Team Teach trained (level 2)
- Experienced in using a trauma informed approach
- Experienced in using THRIVE
It's common that working with children on a 1:1 basis is really challenging, of course this job role will have it's challenges however the difference with this role is that the school staff team have already done the foundation work and have made great progress with the child. Now the child is at a point where they're comfortable working from a behaviour plan and progressing well. Outbursts have significantly reduced and provided a firm but fair (assertive) approach is used, the child has proved able to stay on track with their learning. Overall the child is on a really positive pathway and the school have decided to bring on someone specific to work with the child to enhance their progress. The child is in Year 3 and only school from 830am - 1030am daily. More hours (flexible) are available for the right person as required, right up to full time hours provided your willingness to work in other classes. The cover is expected to run until the end of the academic year and could possibly extend beyond.
The ability to build rapport and reassure the child through a longer working partnership will be key to the success of this post. Through building a positive working relationship, you'll be able to support the young person in working through their mental health challenges and making effective choices to integrate better with class peers. A resilient but calm person would be best suited to this role. If you have the appropriate skills, Elementa can offer free Team Teach training to the successful applicant.
