Cornwallis are expanding and looking to welcome two Teaching Assistants who will work primarily with students whom have additional educational needs and those who can, at times, display challenging behaviour. You will need to have the ability and confidence to motivate and encourage students who have learning, emotional and behavioural difficulties whilst demonstrating empathy and an understanding of their needs.

As well as working with students in the classroom learning environments, you will also be required to carry out one to one work with students, across all Key Stages and curriculum areas. You may also be required to provide intimate care to our students at times. This will be a rewarding post within an extremely supportive working environment. Previous experience of working with children with additional needs would be an advantage and a Teaching Assistant qualification is desirable.

Working at Cornwallis Academy is a great opportunity to develop your career by building on your current success with training opportunities available and those that hold a degree or are working towards their degree we will work with you to look at a suitable programme to form your route into teaching if this is the career route you would like to take.

Applications will be considered as they are received and therefore this post may be fulfilled before the closing date. Early applications are encouraged.
