Description
Axcis Education are delighted to be working in partnership with a mainstream primary school in Ormskirk, who are seeking a Level 3 Teaching Assistant to join their team on a full-time basis. This rewarding opportunity is due to start on Monday 15th June and will initially continue until the end of the current academic year, with a strong possibility of the role being extended into September and potentially becoming a permanent position for the right candidate.
The working hours for this role are 8:30am – 3:30pm, Monday to Friday.
This position will involve supporting a small group of five pupils with additional needs within the school’s SEND classroom. The successful candidate will take a leading role within the classroom, working under the guidance and support of the school’s senior leadership team to help deliver a structured, and engaging learning environment. The children within the provision present with a range of additional needs, including autism, moderate learning difficulties, and speech and language needs.
The role will also involve supporting pupils with personal care, as three children within the class require assistance in this area. At times, some pupils may display behaviours that challenge, so candidates should be confident in managing behaviour positively and calmly. You will, however, be supported by two experienced teaching assistants who know the pupils well and provide a strong support network within the classroom.
To be considered for this role, applicants must hold a Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification (or equivalent). The school would also welcome applications from ECTs or newly qualified teachers who are looking to gain valuable experience within a SEND setting. Previous experience supporting children with autism, learning difficulties, speech and language needs, and challenging behaviour is essential.

The school benefits from onsite parking and excellent public transport links within walking distance, with Ormskirk train station located approximately 20 minutes away on foot.
