Key Responsibilities

All about the role: We are seeking to appoint a compassionate and reliable Medical Needs Teaching Assistant to support a young person with medical needs, both within the classroom and across the wider school environment. This role may be offered as a full-time position or as a job share. For job share arrangements, we can accommodate morning and afternoon shifts. There may also be opportunities to undertake additional Teaching Assistant hours at the opposite end of the day, providing flexibility for the right candidates. Due to the nature of the young person’s needs, the role will involve providing physical assistance as part of their daily care. The pupil has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which outlines their complex requirements. The role will include:

• Supporting the young person to continue to thrive within their secondary school setting
• Providing a high level of medical support (full training will be provided in line with the pupil’s specific needs)
• Offering in-class support, including assisting with the electronic recording of learning
• Liaising effectively with teachers and the SENCo  

The successful candidate(s) will contribute to a stable, caring and supportive learning environment, enabling pupils to achieve their full potential and supporting their personal, academic, social and moral development. You will have a good standard of written and spoken English and Maths, with the ability to support students up to Key Stage 4.
