About the role

Manaba are recruiting experienced and dedicated Teaching Assistants to support in a variety of mainstream primary schools in Cosham, Portsmouth, Havant and Waterlooville. It will be to work across both Key Stages 1 & 2 (Reception up to Year 6) and if you have a preference of which age groups, this will be considered but ideally you will have the confidence to support across both.

These are predomintly for full time roles between the hours of 8.30am-3.30pm, Monday to Friday and they are to start immediately. The schools will consider both short and long term cover, depending on the needs of the class and pupils and we would love to hear from candidates who have experience of supporting children with additional needs and have an understanding of de-escalation techniques, with a calming approach to supporting both their emotional and educational needs.

Restraint training would also be advantageous as we do have requirements for candidates to work on a 1:1 basis with children with EHCPs and more challenging needs.

It isn't essential to hold qualifications in Teaching and Learning in Schools but, again it would be an advantage.

Responsibilities:

Working within a mainstream Primary School, the successful candidates will be empathetic, calm, and able to deal with difficult behaviour, understanding when breaks are needed and be able to connect with all pupils. You must have previous experience of working with young people, but this doesn't have to be within an education setting.

Requirements:

* Ideally you will hold a Teaching Assistant qualification (NVQ Level-3 or equivalent)

* A passion and understanding behaviours in children like anxiety, and some behaviour issues or SEMH.

* Enhanced Level DBS

* A minimum of x2 Employment References

Benefits of working with Manaba:

* Competitive Pay between £13-£14 per hour on supply

* Bookings are easily managed via the Manaba app

* Flexibility with locations with our clients as we cover all of Hampshire, including Southampton and Portsmouth
