Secondary SEN Teaching Assistant for Learning Support in Huddersfield
Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
Do you remember how big secondary school felt at eleven? For pupils with SEND, bells, corridors and six teachers a day can be a lot, and you could be the person who makes it manageable.
About the Role
Learning support teams in secondary schools across Huddersfield and Kirklees need SEN Teaching Assistants who are patient with teenagers and respect their independence. You will support pupils with EHCPs across a range of lessons, help them organise equipment, homework and timetables, and run small group literacy or social skills sessions. When assessments come round, you may act as a reader or scribe. You will keep the SENCO and form tutors updated on how each pupil is doing.
