TeacherActive are currently working alongside a fantastic Primary School in Saltley who are looking for a Teaching Assistant to work on in their Resource Base Classroom in the new academic year (September 2024). The Class is made up of a small group of children of varying ages between 5-9. The needs are predominantly Autism, ADHD and Non-Verbal, so experience supporting with these needs would be beneficial. There will be personal care involved in this role. 

You will work as part of a team of 3 Teaching Assistants, working as a Team to support the Class Teacher and the needs of the children.  

This is a full-time, long-term role, ongoing for the whole academic year, as consistency for the children is absolutely key.

The ideal Learning Support Assistant will have:

• Experience working with Special Educational Needs
