About the role

Source Supply are recruiting a resilient and compassionate SEND Teaching Assistant with the ability to form positive lasting relationships.

This specialist setting offers a broad, dynamic and engaging academic and social curriculum to equip pupils with tools they need to succeed in later life. The learners are given encouragement through praise and reward, ensuring the school environment remains positive and upbeat; there is a strong focus on breaking barriers to learning.

All young learners are respected for their individual strengths and treated as equals. There is a non-judgemental approach to behaviour management, and it is recognised that all behaviour is communication.
