Hays Education is working with a number of welcoming and inclusive primary schools across North Birmingham, including areas such as Sutton Coldfield, Erdington, Kingstanding, Great Barr, Perry Barr, Handsworth, Aston and Castle Vale.

Many of these schools have recently established specialist SEN resource bases and enhanced provision for pupils with additional needs. As a result, they are seeking experienced Teaching Assistants who can bring their expertise from specialist settings into a mainstream environment.

• Support not just individual pupils, but influence wider school practice
• Become part of a whole-school approach to inclusion
• Work within newly established SEN resource bases and nurture groups
• Develop your experience across a broader range of needs and abilities
• Build relationships with pupils as they access mainstream education alongside specialist support

What you'll need to succeed

• Experience working in an SEN, PRU, Alternative Provision or SEMH environment in the UK
• A passion for supporting children with additional needs
• Strong behaviour management and relationship-building skills
• The ability to adapt and support pupils both within the classroom and in specialist provisions
• Recent experience working with children that can be referenced

What you'll get in return

• Access to a range of roles in inclusive mainstream schools across North Birmingham
• Long-term and permanent opportunities
• Competitive rates of pay
• Ongoing support from a dedicated education recruitment specialist
• £250 in Hays Rewards for successful Refer a Friend recommendations
