Teaching Assistant – Autism Support – Key Stage 3 & 4

Graduate Learning Mentor

We are specifically working with a large secondary school in Manchester, who are looking to secure the services of an outstanding Teaching Assistant, for a long-term position in their SEN Team. This particular role is to support the needs of young people with ASC, who may display low-level challenging behaviours and can become disengaged from learning quite quickly. To be successful in this role, it is essential you are calm, resilient and overall, have a good sense of humour.

Learning Mentor work provides a great platform for graduates – both with practical experience, and also knowledge to create attractive, engaging personal statements and applications. And don’t worry about all that – our process is really easy, and our consultants are more than happy to help you with your applications to QTS courses when the time is right.

And, as you become more confident and your skills develop, our school will let you lead classes in the capacity of a Cover Supervisor – which again, lets you develop your leadership and management skills.
