Are you an outstanding Teaching Assistant looking for your next position in Wirral? If so, then we want to hear from you!

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, our Wirral schools are preempting a high demand for additional Teaching Assistants in September to support their Year 7 students with transition from Primary to Secondary School. Children will be working in smaller class bubbles and support will be required for those students who have missed 3 months of their education during this academic year. If you're looking for a full-time position to support pupils in their learning and to 'catch up' in core subjects they may have fell behind in then please read on.

As part of this role you will be required to work collaboratively with the teachers and other members of staff, potentially the school SENCO. You will be responsible for making learning as accessible as possible for the students that you work with and therefore it is essential that you show empathy and patience, whilst ensuring they are as engaged as possible. A Teaching Assistant is a very rewarding role and one that is an integral part of school life.

To join us and be considered for this Teaching Assistant position you must:
- Hold a recognised Teaching Assistant qualification at Level 2 minimum
- Hold a degree or relevant experience in child based employment with transferable skills into the classroom
- Have experience supporting pupils across Key Stages 3 and 4 (11-16 years old);
- Hold an Enhanced DBS on the update service (or be willing to apply for one with costs refunded after completing 20 days work), Overseas police check (if applicable) and satisfactory references;
- Provide a CV and it must cover the last 10 years of employment history where possible and any gaps in employment must be explained;
- Have the legal right to work in the UK.
