Axcis is working with a wonderful special school in the Solihull which has a very strong community spirit and ethic. This all-age school specialises supporting children and young people with complex Autism, the school caters to children aged 4 to 19 years and ensure to tailor its provision to each individual’s needs. The school requires a teaching assistant to work on a 1:1 or small group basis with children with the Early Years and Primary departments. The perfect teaching assistant will need to have a very high level of resilience and dedication as consistency is key for all children with SEND needs however this is 10x as important for individuals of such a young age and developmental stages. This is a full-time role on a small group and 1:1 basis with an immediate start on an ongoing basis to the end of the academic year, with a high likelihood of returning to the school after the summer holidays. Being able to work independently and as part of a team is key, to be able to take direction from the teacher and implement planning accurately and effectively with the child or group of children you are working with.
