Required to start in September 2026, subject to all clearances being in place. Our SEND Department at Lord Lawson is a professional, forward-thinking, and dynamic team, committed to transforming the life chances of our students, particularly those with SEND and disadvantaged backgrounds. We believe in raising the achievement of all students and supporting their unique needs through bespoke intervention strategies. Our department consists of an Assistant Principal SENDCo, two Assistant SENDCos, and 12 HLTAs/TAs, each responsible for an area of SEND. We are a flexible and collaborative team, dedicated to ensuring students have the support they need both in and out of the classroom. As a TA in our department, you will play a key role in supporting students with SEND in the classroom. You will help them access teaching and learning and ensure they make meaningful progress. You will adopt strategies tailored to individual needs, enabling students to thrive academically and personally. We value staff development and encourage a collaborative approach to sharing best practices across the school. You will be supported through professional learning opportunities both within the SEND department and the wider school community. To be considered for this post you must have a good education background to GCSE equivalent or above and be willing to engage in further professional development. We are looking for a TA with the capability to provide an excellent range of support for our students, and with the capacity to develop further. This is an exceptional opportunity to join us on our journey towards becoming one of the best schools in the Northeast of England. We have further work to do but are well on the way in our improvement plan. The successful candidate will learn and develop here, and will, we hope, go on to achieve great success in their career.
