Are you motivated to support some of our young people from vulnerable backgrounds?
Do you have the ability to build strong relationships with pupils quickly?
Tradewind Manchester is recruiting for an PRU Teaching Assistant!
About the role:
- PRU Teaching Assistant for a secondary SEMH school in the Bury area.
- Start date - ASAP, full time and long term with the potential to turn in to a permanent contract.
- Pay up to £75 per day.
- You will primarily be supporting a pupil in KS3 on a 1:1 basis. The young person has had significant trauma in their past and as a result has poor interactions with peers and staff. They have an EHCP for Social, Emotional & Mental Health Difficulties, SEMH.
- They can display challenging behaviour at times so the new PRU Teaching Assistant must have excellent behaviour management skills, be resilient and be able to persevere through difficult situations.
- Ideally you will have some previous experience as one of the following: Teaching Assistant, Behaviour Mentor, SEMH Teaching Assistant, PRU Teaching Assistant, Youth Worker or Residential Support Worker.
- The new PRU Teaching Assistant will need to build strong relationships with pupils quickly based on fun, honesty, consistency, positive re-reinforcement and respect while setting appropriate boundaries
About the school:
- Secondary SEMH school for young people at KS3 and 4.
- Strong focus on personal development and equipping young people for life in further education or work.
- Broad curriculum based on childrens' needs and interests including vocational learning.
- Lessons take place in small groups of no more than 8 pupils.
- Staff take pride in their work and are child centred in everything they do.
- Supportive management with a safe and welcoming environment.
About the pupils:
- All pupils are at KS3 or 4 however often working at lower than expected levels for their age.
- Pupils all have a EHCP for SEMH or associated difficulties such as ADHD and Autism.
- Pupils are all permanently excluded or at high risk of permanent exclusion from their mainstream school however many successfully re-engage in mainstream or gain academic success within the provision.
- Some pupils require 1:1 pastoral support at times to help manage their emotions & behaviour.
- Some pupils can display verbal or physical challenging behaviours so any PRU Teaching Assistant in this role will need strong de-escalation and behaviour management skills.
