Teaching Assistants Required to train as Teachers at an SEN School in Surrey - Apply Now!

Have you a passion for supporting children and young people through their education?

Would you like to train to be an SEN Teacher?

Do you drive?

If so, this could be the ideal role for you?

We are working closely with a Special Educational Needs School for children aged 4-19 years old with autism. They have provision for 80 pupils and are graded Outstanding by Ofsted. The school supports pupils on a 1:1 basis within small classes (3-6 pupils per class).

The School uses the approach of ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) to teaching whereby each pupil has an individualised curriculum that is tailored to their needs, pupils progress is encouraged via positive reinforcement (praise, reward) and breaking tasks down into manageable steps and then monitored by taking data and frequently graphing this to track trends. Their structure is set up so that they have teachers (this role) per pupil in each class, a Lead Teacher and a Supervisor.

We are helping them recruit for Trainee SEN Teacher's to join the school. The role incorporates, lesson planning, teaching, break and lunchtime support, personal care, supporting off site trips, assistance with pupil's therapy sessions, behaviour management and much more! Staff have access to extensive funded training and qualification opportunities which I think is a main area that sets this school aside from others. All staff are encouraged to, and have the opportunity to, work through the school's ABA training whereby they can complete CABAS Teaching ranks and gain nationally recognised accreditation specific to the field of ABA. There is also the opportunity to do the Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) qualification and a Masters in ABA. They also have more generalist training available such as emergency medication, safeguarding, first aid etc. and CACHE level 2,3 and 4 Teaching and Learning qualifications. All training links to their career progression opportunities of which they have regular vacancies for staff to progress to a Lead Teacher and Supervisor role.

These opportunities in return, require a level of commitment to their study programme from candidates whereby independent time may be required to dedicate. Please note that this is an unqualified role (similar to a teaching assistant but with more responsibility and lead) so candidates do not require and will NOT achieve a QTS via this role which would enable them to practice as a qualified teacher in any setting.

This role would be ideal for someone who has experience of working with children or adults and special educational needs such as a Teaching Assistant, Learning Support Assistant, Nursery Nurse, Behaviour Support Assistant, ABA Tutor, Early Years Practitioner, Support Worker, Care Assistant etc. This role is also suitable for psychology graduates due to their ABA approach. They are also welcoming of candidates that have a care background who are wanting to move into education.

Successful candidates will be awarded a £1,000 joining bonus (subject to conditions/deductions), paid in their first months' salary.

Please note that we are only able to accept full time hours for this role: 09:00am - 4:30pm and till 5:30pm on a Tuesday when staff meetings and training are held. This role is term time only so candidates will have school holidays (approx. 9 weeks) - please note that this school's holidays are slightly shorter than other settings e.g. 4 weeks in summer instead of 6 etc. Please also note that this role requires candidates to have a grade C in both Maths & English Language GSCE or equivalent (e.g. functional skills level 2 or higher qualification such as a relevant degree etc).

This setting is for children who have complex needs and severe cases of autism, therefore support with managing challenging behaviour (can be physical - hair pulling, hitting, kicking etc) and personal care (toileting etc) will be required.

The assessment process for this role begins with submission of a completed application form. If shortlisted, you will be invited to attend an assessment day at the school including a tour, a class assessment and a formal interview with the Headteacher, HR and governor.

Please note, This School is located in a rural area with no links to public transport meaning access to a vehicle is vital for candidates to get to work.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in and you would like more information, please email paul.hirchfield@randstadeducation.co.uk or call 01293 527416.

Coaching is integral to our success. We support colleagues through coaching; enabling deep reflection, which has allowed us to build a bold, creative and aspirational culture, where collaboration with peers and new approaches to practice are encouraged.

Personal Improvement Plan

versus Performance Management

Instead of the usual performance management, we encourage our staff to identify aspirational targets through our ‘Personal Improvement Plan’ (PIP) process. With your coach, you will look to make significant progress in a critical area of your practice; we believe in valuing the process of improvement not pass or fail numerical targets.

Health and Wellbeing Strategies

Having happy and healthy staff is key to a successful organisation. The Trust is committed to:

• providing employees with a safe, healthy and supportive environment in which to work
• recognising that the health and wellbeing of our employees is important
• providing a supportive workplace culture where healthy lifestyle choices are valued and encouraged

We believe it is important that we are role models to our students of how to be a healthy adult. We actively promote the importance of a work life balance, offering support to staff on managing stress and workload, as well as a physical activity programme. Access to coaching, counselling and supervision is also available to all staff.

Presumed Professionalism

We have a ‘Presumed Professionalism’ ethos across the Trust. Our staff are professional educators and we recognise the need to support staff to enable a healthy work life balance to allow maximum impact whilst working with our young people and each other.We achieve this by allowing staff to sign out during their free periods, as long as professional duties are not affected. See our policy for further details.

Development of Professional Capital and Excellence

As a Trust, we always look to invest in our staff and pride ourselves on our ‘home grown talent’.We pride ourselves on this and believe this has the biggest impact on how our staff understand their communities and make a difference to the lives of our young people.

Quite simply, our aim is to employ people who match our ethos and values and enable them to truly collaborate with colleagues across the Trust so that they are satisfied professionally. We provide outstanding training pathways, which draw on excellence both within and outside of our Trust to enable you to build your professional capital.

Examples of the many opportunities we encourage staff to take up externally include:

• The National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL)
• The National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH)
• The National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership (NPQML)
• The Outstanding Teacher Programme (OTP)
• Initial Teacher Training (ITT)

Pathways are available at apprenticeship level, ECT, aspiring middle leader, Lead Practitioner and aspiring senior leader level. Some of these courses are led by staff within the Trust and others, are externally accredited. In addition, the Trust provides the opportunity of becoming an associate SLT member, enabling middle leaders to gain insight and experience of leadership at the highest level within a school.

Support staff have their own Personal Improvement Plan that they use as a tool to create a bespoke professional development plan. All support staff also receive Coaching and training opportunities, in order to help them feel empowered and in charge of their own development.

Across the Trust, we pride ourselves on equal opportunities for all staff, irrespective of background, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age.

Great access to progression and leadership responsibility

Further evidence of our investment in ‘home grown talent’ is that 86% of our TLR holders have been internal appointments. We have clear professional progression pathways within the CPD offered throughout the year at all levels within the Trust.

Collaboration across all schools

We are developing relationships across our Trust to enable collaboration to support learning and teaching outcomes. In addition, we are able to offer a joint CPD programme to draw upon expertise across the Trust. Staff work and meet regularly in teams across schools in the Trust and we hold an annual Strategic Planning Day, where each member of the Trust work together.

Sabbatical and flexible working policies

We have developed a unique sabbatical policy to support staff to develop their interests. For some, this has been to develop professionally, whilst others have taken this time to experience travel with their family. See our policy for further details.

Flexible working arrangements are also promoted across the Trust where possible, to enable our staff to manage their work life and family commitments.

Strong Induction Process

It is important to us that every member of staff has the right start to working in our Trust. The importance of a good induction is invaluable for new starters irrespective of previous experience. To support this, we have a New Staff Induction Day before the start of term, which enables colleagues to get a real understanding of what the school is about and what it means to be part of the Trust. This day also prepares new staff for our training (conference) days at the beginning of the Autumn term. In addition to this, ALL staff are invited to visit a series of lessons across the school year.

ECT Programme

We offer newly qualified teachers a robust, supportive and bespoke training programme, which will enable you to develop into an outstanding teacher.

Continued ECT and RQT support

Where possible we try to ensure that ECTs and second year teachers have reduced teaching loads to allow them more opportunities for CPD throughout the school week. This also allows for peer-to-peer observations and additional coaching taking place to develop their practice.

3D Networks

3D Networks are an opportunity for faculties to share good practice and new ideas with colleagues across the school, based on our unique 3D Learning and Teaching model.

Attendance of staff

Our staff are committed to their roles and ensure that students are supported to maximise their outcomes. Levels of attendance are exceptionally high across all staff and well above national averages in the education sector and beyond.

Commitment to safeguarding

‘’LiFE Multi Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All offers of employment will be subject to a DBS check and an online search.’’
