Higher Level Teaching Assistant (Mathematics)

To start: As soon as possible

Contract type: 1 year fixed term in the first instance 36 hours per week, term time only plus 5 INSET days.

The Complementary Education Service Supports schools in ensuring statutory educational provision for pupils who cannot attend school in the usual way as a result of medical illness, pregnancy or emotional and psychological difficulties. 

Teaching support is provided within a small teaching base in the centre of the borough and through provision of home tuition and distance learning packages. We are a small, dedicated team based centrally within the borough linked to a wider SEN and Inclusion Service. As such you can expect to benefit from a wide range of expertise from colleagues who are committed to securing the best possible outcomes for students’ emotional health, wellbeing resilience and academic progress.

We work in partnership with local schools and agencies including CAMHS, health partners, careers services and social care practitioners. The Service supports schools in raising the levels of achievement, attendance and participation for vulnerable groups to enable them to engage in appropriate learning opportunities with a view to reintegrating with their mainstream or specialist settings.

We are looking to appoint with effect from September 2019 a Higher Level Teaching Assistant to organise and support teaching and learning activities and programmes for individual students under the direction and supervision of qualified teachers. You will deliver learning programmes for Mathematics across Key Stages Three and Four.

We require candidates with considerable experience in supporting young people with identified social emotional and mental health needs. The post provides a valuable and rewarding opportunity to help our students build resilience and confidence to reintegrate and re-engage with their respective schools or manage successful transitions into their next settings.

The post will require travel to students’ home and school settings and is subject to a casual car user mileage allowance.
