As a teaching assistant within Bishop Milner Catholic College you will offer 1:1 support to students with SEND across the college. You will be supporting a number of different students, taking a pupil-centred approach to their learning so as to ensure that their individual needs are at the heart of all that we do. You will be supporting a variety of SEN including SEMH, emotional regulation, ASD and communication needs. You will implement positive behaviour strategies, complete speech and language interventions and phonics assessments. You will liaise with the class teachers and the college SENCO on your students progress and aid in the management of their EHCP's.
