Teaching Assistant

Springwell Leeds Academy are seeking to appoint Teaching Assistants at our East Site.

Hours of work: 37 per week \- Term Time Only plus 5 days

Springwell Leeds is a multi\-site, city\-wide specialist provision for children with SEMH needs. Exciting opportunities are available for people looking for a fresh challenge in an inspiring learning environment where we provide children aged 5\-16 with specialist teaching and learning.

The posts will suit candidates who have the commitment, passion and resilience to make a difference to pupils who have a range of social, emotional, mental health and special educational needs.

Teaching Assistants support SEMH and academic learning within the classroom as part of a team of staff in small classes of around 10 pupils.

Teaching Assistants are responsible for supporting and leading small groups and individuals with Maths, English, reading, SEAL, practical activities, supporting pupils to develop resilience, social skills and self\-esteem, and deploying effective strategies for supporting pupils with a range of behavioural conditions (ASD/ADHD/SEMH/ODD).

They support the teacher in the production of classroom and specialist resources, and so a good working knowledge of ICT is essential.

These positions may suit those wishing to develop a career within the Special Education Sector. College/University graduates are welcome and encouraged to apply, as full training will be offered to candidates wishing to develop a career in this setting.

The positions may be of particular interest to applicants who have a passion in supporting the emotional and mental health needs of young people.

As part of the Wellspring Academy Trust, we have access to a network of Expert Practitioners and our own teaching school, and so are well equipped to support career development, including routes into teaching.
