Job Description
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate qualified teacher to support students part-time at a resource base in east Bristol. This primary school has a high SEND cohort, including children with learning difficulties, ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition), ADHD, and SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) challenges. Many of the pupils have behavioural needs which require a calm, confident, and consistent approach. This would be a maternity cover role, with the possibility of extension. This position is best suited to someone who is highly proactive, comfortable with setting boundaries, and able to remain composed in challenging situations.
Main Responsibilities
- Deliver creative and differentiated classes to small groups of students with high needs
- Use de-escalation strategies and consistent boundaries to manage challenging behaviour
- Work closely with other staff and the SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) to implement behaviour plans and support strategies
- Support pupils during unstructured times such as breaks and lunch to ensure safety and inclusion
