Our curriculum is highly individualised and focuses on the promotion of communication, emotional development, resilience, and the development of independence and employability skills. This role is based at the Cedars College, Walker Terrace site in central Gateshead.
We are currently seeking to appoint full time Teaching Assistants for Cedars College to begin in September 2023. The post is fixed term for 1 year initially and will be reviewed based on pupil numbers and budget capacity. This role ideally requires candidates to have experience of working with young people with a range of learning difficulties and disabilities. Experience of supporting learning within a secondary or Post 16 setting would be advantageous, but not essential.
The successful candidate will be flexible and will enjoy the challenge of supporting the delivery of a student-led curriculum where Preparation for Adulthood and access to the community are key to ensuring that our young people are fit for life and ready for their next challenge beyond Cedars Academy. Commitment to working within a team approach is essential.
