Contract: Full-Time - Ongoing
Are you a resilient and experienced Teaching Assistant looking for a rewarding challenge? Do you thrive in environments where no two days are the same?
Remedy is currently recruiting for a full-time Teaching Assistant to join a dynamic and supportive SEN Secondary based in Lewisham. This is an immediate start position for someone with a thick skin, a firm but fair approach and the ability to manage challenging behaviour confidently and calmly.
About the Role:
This is not your average TA role. You'll be working closely with students who have been excluded from mainstream education and may present with behavioural, emotional, or social difficulties. Your role will involve:
- Supporting students on a 1:1 and small group basis
- De-escalating challenging behaviour using positive behaviour strategies
- Helping to re-engage students with learning in a safe, structured environment
- Working closely with teachers and pastoral staff to implement behaviour plans
You Must Have:
- Experience working in a PRU, SEMH setting or with students with challenging behaviour
- A resilient, calm and confident manner
- A proactive attitude and the ability to think on your feet
- Excellent communication and behaviour management skills
- The ability to build trust and strong relationships with students who may be disaffected or vulnerable
What the School Offers:
- A supportive and experienced team who genuinely care about the students' progress
- Ongoing professional development and guidance
- A chance to make a real difference to young people's lives
- A structured but flexible working environment
This role is perfect for someone who isn't afraid of a challenge and is passionate about giving young people a second chance.
