Sports Graduate Teaching Assistants - Secondary SEN School
Location: Stockport | Full-Time | Long-Term Opportunities
Are you a Sports Graduate looking to take your first steps into education? Do you have experience working with children through sports coaching, school placements or previous roles and want to make a real difference?
Aspire People are currently recruiting enthusiastic, energetic and resilient Sports Graduate Teaching Assistants to work within an outstanding specialist secondary SEN school in Stockport.
This is a fantastic opportunity for Sports Graduates who are passionate about working with young people and are looking to gain valuable experience within a specialist educational setting.
Why Sports Graduates?
The school has found that students respond particularly well to staff from a sports background. Sports graduates often bring the energy, confidence, resilience and relationship-building skills that work exceptionally well in this environment.
The ability to build rapport, motivate young people, encourage teamwork and provide clear boundaries is essential.
Students can present with behavioural challenges, so we are looking for individuals who are resilient, confident and not easily phased by challenging behaviour. You need to be someone who can remain calm, think on your feet and see beyond the behaviour to build positive relationships with the young people.
About the School
This is an outstanding and exceptionally well-resourced specialist secondary SEN school in Stockport.
All students have an EHCP identifying a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Although students may experience behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, they all follow an academic pathway, and the school is committed to helping every individual reach their full potential.
The school offers a fantastic learning environment with excellent facilities and outdoor provisions, including:
* Forest School facilities.
* A converted school bus with hammocks, providing an alternative space for students.
* On-site animals, including chickens.
* A dedicated hair salon for college pupils.
* Excellent resources and facilities to support students' individual needs.
The Role - Sports Graduate Teaching Assistant
You will be supporting students within the classroom, working alongside teachers to ensure they remain engaged, motivated and supported throughout the school day.
This is a hands-on role where the right attitude is everything. We are looking for people who are happy to get stuck in, build relationships and go above and beyond to help students succeed.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Supporting students with their academic learning across the curriculum.
* Building positive, trusting relationships with students who may display challenging behaviour.
* Encouraging engagement, participation and positive attitudes towards learning.
* Supporting students with SEND and SEMH needs.
* Promoting positive behaviour, emotional regulation and social development.
* Providing encouragement, motivation and clear boundaries.
* Working collaboratively with teaching staff and the wider school team.
* Helping students develop confidence, resilience and independence.
Who Are We Looking For?
We are particularly interested in Sports Graduates who have:
* A degree in Sports, Sports Coaching, Sports Development or a related discipline.
* Previous experience working with children or young people in a school setting.
* Experience through sports coaching, school placements completed during their degree, extracurricular activities or previous employment.
* The confidence and resilience to support students with behavioural challenges.
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
* A positive, proactive and hands-on approach.
* The ability to remain calm, patient and consistent when faced with challenging behaviour.
* A genuine passion for supporting young people and helping them achieve their potential.
* An Enhanced DBS registered on the Update Service.
* References covering the last two years of employment, education or relevant activity history.
Previous experience within a specialist SEN setting would be advantageous but is not essential. What matters most is having the right attitude, relevant experience with children and the willingness to get stuck in.
What's on Offer?
* Full-time, long-term opportunities for the right candidates.
* The opportunity to gain invaluable experience in an outstanding specialist SEN school.
* A supportive and well-resourced working environment.
* The chance to develop valuable skills within education and SEN.
* An excellent opportunity for Sports Graduates considering a future career in teaching, educational psychology, youth work or pastoral support.
* The opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people.
