Summary
As an Intervention Teaching Assistant, you will lead engaging, structured sports, sensory and SEMH interventions for small groups and individual students across KS3 and KS4. You will use physical activity as a powerful tool to support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, improve confidence and help students develop stronger relationships with their peers.
You will act as both a coach and mentor, building positive, professional relationships with students who may find mainstream lessons challenging. Through your work, students will begin to develop resilience, teamwork, self-awareness and a sense of achievement.
Alongside your intervention work, you will support learning across the secondary school day, working closely with teachers to adapt activities, reinforce expectations and enable all students to access their education. You will help guide students through transitions, unstructured times and reintegration into lessons, ensuring they feel supported and ready to succeed.
You will work collaboratively with teachers, SEND and pastoral teams, contributing to a shared approach that prioritises student wellbeing, safety and progress, while modelling the values of respect, ambition and responsibility in everything you do.
