Teaching Assistant - Burnley, United Kingdom - Compass Schools
Description
About The Role:
Compass Community School Lancashire is an independent specialist school providing high-quality, therapeutic and child-centred education to girls from 11 to 17 years of age in Burnley.
The work we do is both varied and challenging and, as a trauma and attachment informed organisation, all staff are provided with extensive therapeutic training and support.
Our closely triangulated approach places the child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parents/carers, local authority teams and, most importantly, our students can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.
The Role
TAs at our school know that no two days are the same and that no two children are the same either.
They will know that our children require lots of attention, just the right sort of communication, consistency and flexibility in equal measure, and a non-judgemental approach.
Our Teaching Assistants may be
- supporting teachers in the classroom
- working with children 1:1 or delivering sessions with small groups of students
- managing classroom resources
- taking children on trips and visits
- having their lunch with children who struggle socially
- managing heightened behaviours and keeping children safe
- playing board games
- conducting science experiments
- making amazing displays
- celebrating success
- part of therapy sessions or reflecting on difficult periods
We want our TAs to be part of the decision making that drives our school, provides outcomes for children and advocates for every child.
We welcome their input in developing both the academic curriculum and the opportunities in our extra-curricular offer - bringing their own interests and passions to the table.
