The Programme

Working alongside our client schools, we will provide the successful Trainee Teaching Assistant with high quality training and paid on the job experience. Following a successful interview and pending suitability, safeguarding and identity checks, we will work to secure you a paid placement in a school to further develop your skills as a Teaching Assistant.

These settings can involve interacting with individuals who have ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition), MLD (Moderate Learning Difficulties), SLD (Severe Learning Difficulties) and PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties).

The settings across Sheffield require unique and committed individuals who have a real passion to care, understand and motivate SEN pupils to succeed. Prior to starting your placement, you will be required to complete an online training programme created by Vision for Education, which will give you the essential knowledge and confidence you need to begin your work as a Teaching Assistant.

You will assist the class teacher with recording and reporting on pupil progress and behaviour and help ensure that children are making good progress in the classroom.
