Looking to start or develop your career in education?We are currently recruiting for a full-time Teaching Assistant to join a supportive secondary school in Birmingham.

This is an exciting temp-to-perm opportunity, with the potential to move into a permanent position for the right candidate.
The school is looking for someone who is passionate about supporting young people, works well as part of a team and is keen to make a positive difference. You don't need to have years of experience – the school is open to applications from both new and experienced Teaching Assistants.

About the Role
The role will primarily involve classroom-based support, rather than working exclusively with one individual student.
You will work alongside teachers and the wider SEND team to support students with a range of additional needs across the classroom. A significant proportion of the SEND provision includes students with SEMH and ADHD, so the ability to build positive relationships and provide calm, consistent support is important.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting students with SEND across the classroom.
• Working alongside teachers to help students access learning.
• Providing encouragement and support to students who may experience barriers to learning.
• Supporting students with SEMH, ADHD and a range of other additional needs.
• Helping students develop confidence, independence and positive learning behaviours.
• Building positive and trusting relationships with students.
• Working closely with the SEND team and teaching staff.
• Helping to create an inclusive and supportive classroom environment.
• Supporting students to remain engaged and focused during lessons.

Who We're Looking ForThe school is not looking for a specific level of experience – personality, attitude and the ability to work well with students and colleagues are key.

You could be:

• An experienced Teaching Assistant looking for a new opportunity.
• A recent graduate looking to begin a career in education.
• Someone who has recently completed a relevant qualification.
• A candidate with transferable experience working with children or young people.
• Someone already working in education who wants to develop their SEND experience.

Most importantly, you'll be patient, approachable, reliable and committed to helping students succeed.

⭐ Temp-to-perm opportunity with potential for a permanent position

⭐ Work as part of an established SEND team
⭐ Gain valuable experience supporting students with SEMH and ADHD
⭐ Classroom-based role with a variety of students
