Tradewind Recruitment are working closely with a secondary pupil referral unit (PRU) in the Chorley area who require a Level 3 teaching assistant to support the learning of a student with social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH) on a 1:1 basis.
The school provide an educational setting for pupils who have been excluded from mainstream education, and offer a nurturing and restorative environment to rehabilitate students and improve behaviour and learning.
The successful applicant for this teaching assistant role will be working closely with a Year 11 student who demonstrates challenging behaviour and requires 1:1 support to keep him engaged. The student also struggles with anxiety and mental heath issues and therefore requires a dynamic and positive role model to promote engagement and learning.
The role will involve working on the school site in Chorley between 8.30-4.30 from Monday - Wednesday, and on Thursdays and Fridays 9.30-2.30 at a gymnasium setting south of Chorley. Therefore the successful candidate will have access to their own transport, or be based locally in the South Ribble area and able to take public transport.
The position will commence as soon as possible, and will last for the entire 2024/25 academic year.
