The role in a nutshell
You will play a special role to create change in the life of the children you support. As a teaching assistant, you help children overcome learning and developmental challenges, and make a significant contribution to the quality of education which our pupils receive. The roles allocated to a teaching assistant are diverse, so they may vary from school to school. In this Academy, the main duties for teaching assistant posts are:
• to assist with teaching children in class, alongside and under the direction of the class teacher
• to support children who may have additional or special needs
• to lead lessons under the direction of the class teacher
• to teach groups of children for intervention sessions
• to support individual pupils in accessing their educational provision
In the role, you will need to be ready for something different every day. You will deal with new topics or new problems to be resolved. But helping children to attain to their potential will be rewarding. When you support individuals or small groups to reach their goals, or increase in confidence, their smiles of success will make your day worthwhile!

(a) create and maintain a safe environment
(b) manage situations should child welfare concerns arise
(c) create an atmosphere of trust in which pupils feel confident to confide any concern
(d) help young people to understand the difference between acceptable and non - acceptable behaviour
(e) teach pupils to stay safe from harm
Pupils are taught about safeguarding, including E-safety as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. All staff within the Trust take welfare concerns seriously and encourage children and young people to talk about anything that worries them.
