I am delighted to be working with an OFSTED 'Outstanding' primary special school in Trafford, who are looking for a Primary Teaching Assistant to start as soon as possible on a full time and long term basis with the potential to turn permanent. Pay up to £75/day.

The school caters for almost 100 pupils, aged 2 to 11 who have Autism, Sensory Needs and Speech & Language Communication Needs. They are a very welcoming, friendly and supportive school that really focus on making sure that staff as well as pupils are at the heart of the way they work. They follow elements of the national curriculum at EYFS and KS1 with class sizes of no more than 10 pupils per class. Pupils are group by level so some ages may differ in each group. Lessons and activities are tailored to meet each pupils needs and levels and as the new Primary Teaching Assistant you will need to work closely with the class teacher to support children during class and help prep the environment ready for the day.

Pupils are full of life and enjoy learning despite their obstacles. They all have an EHCP for SEN with most including Autism at some point on the spectrum. Some pupils are high functioning and some more low functioning and will need support with managing emotions, triggers and behaviour as well as managing the class environment in terms of sensory input. Many pupils are working at lower speech and communication levels and may use PECS or Makaton to help communicate.

Staff are extremely complimentary about the support they receive from management and enjoy working there due to the strong team atmosphere and everyone helping each other out when needed. There are opportunities for training and development for long term supply staff as well as perm staff and the role could eventually turn permanent for the right person later in the term.
