Connex - Warrington
SEND Teaching Assistant / Support Worker
Warrington
£400 – £450 per week
I am working with 2 schools in Warrington who are looking for SEND experienced Teaching Assistants to work ad hoc days each week.
Both schools cater for students with varying additional needs, but predominantly Autism and Severe Learing Difficulties (SLD) and provide high quality care and education to those students aged 3 – 19.The classrooms are small in size, with anything from 3 – 8 students in each class, where students are grouped on ability and learning levels rather than age. Staff at this school are well trained and highly skilled with the schools providing courses for both full time and agency staff. There is a strong parent network, and both staff and parents work together to ensure a nurturing environment, both inside and outside of the schools.
The schools are looking to start people urgently, subject to DBS and referencing. Working hours at 8.30am -3.30pm, and days vary each week. This role would suit support workers with existing rotas or students studying SEND related courses .
