Axcis are pleased to be working with a mainstream school in central Bristol who are looking to recruit an experienced teaching assistant to work 1-1 with a Y5 child with autism for six weeks, part time mornings only 8:30-12:30pm Monday-Friday. The school has a very friendly atmosphere and a supportive environment, and is well liked by all staff we have sent to them in the past. Situated in Central Bristol the school has been described as having a positive and inclusive working ethos and has excellent links to public transport. You will be a role model, mentor and daily support to the child you will be working with and will need to be able to establish a good working relationship with them. Resilience is an essential trait as the child has challenging behaviour and experience working with children with autism is a must. You must have a calm nature and ability to de-escalate situations. The successful candidate will be creative, flexible and have a natural talent for working with students who exhibit challenging behaviour. This is a temporary position. If you are interested, then please contact Dan Davey at Axcis Education on 0117 373 6127.

This is a temporary position unless otherwise stated.

Please note: The details of this job are correct as of the start of the school closures. We anticipate that there will still be a need to fill this vacancy either on the expected timescale (as many of the schools we work with will remain open to support SEND/Keyworker children) or when schools re-open. We are therefore continuing to accept applications but please bear with us as there may be a delay on the listed start date due to the fact that the situation is continually evolving.
