Do you have previous experience as a Teaching Assistant?

Have you supported young people with challenging behaviours or Social, Emotional & Mental Health difficulties (SEMH)?

Tradewind are recruiting for a Teaching Assistant for a full time and long term role starting in January in south Manchester.

The role is working as a Teaching Assistant at a secondary alternative provision in the south Manchester area. You will be supporting young people in small groups or on a 1:1 basis. You will need to provide academic, pastoral and behaviour support.

The provision is rated GOOD by Ofsted and has a great reputation in the local area and beyond. They have strong links with other schools and provisions and outside agencies. They cater for young people aged 11-16 who are outside of mainstream school for a variety or reasons. The centre has numerous sites across the city with great transport links and on site parking. This role will be based at their site in Chorlton.

Young people have a range of needs including SEMH and associated difficulties such as ADHD, ODD, autism, attachment disorder and other challenging behaviours. They can often display physical or verbal aggression so any teaching assistant will need to have strong behaviour management skills and need to be resilient to challenging situations. You will need to act as a trusted adult and positive role model while providing consistent boundaries. Ideally you will be trained in Team Teach however this is not essential.
