Unqualified Teaching Assistant (SEND)

National Teaching Assistant programme

Rotherham

Pay : £416.65 to £435.00 per week

Start dates : 24th February 2025 - July 2025

The Programme

Working alongside our client schools, we will provide the successful Unqualified Teaching Assistant with high quality training and paid on-the-job experience.

Following a successful interview and pending suitability, safeguarding and identity checks, we will work to secure you a paid placement in a school to further develop your skills. You will be supported in deciding whether you’d prefer to work in primary, secondary, or SEND provisions and will receive ongoing support from a dedicated consultant.

This role involves being placed within a SEND (Special Educational Needs Disability) setting. These settings can involve interacting with individuals who have ADHD, ASC, MLD, SLD, and PMLD. The settings across Rotherham require unique and committed individuals who have a real passion to care, understand, and motivate SEN pupils to succeed.

Prior to starting your placement, you will be required to complete a training programme delivered by Vision for Education and school leaders, which will give you the essential skills you need to work as a Teaching Assistant.

The Role

The role of a Teaching Assistant is vital in the day-to-day running of schools. The best Teaching Assistants have excellent communication skills and are able to build positive relationships with pupils and staff quickly and effectively.

Depending on the role and the school, you will be working with the class teacher to manage behaviour, support with interventions, and provide additional support to children with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities).

You will assist the class teacher with recording and reporting on pupil progress and behaviour, and help ensure that children are making good progress in the classroom.
