Company Description
At Catch22, we are proud of our reputation as a modern and progressive employer. Our 1,300 colleagues and 300 volunteers work at every stage of the social welfare cycle, supporting over 60,000 individuals from cradle to career. Our work spans education, social justice and rehabilitation, children's social care, family support, social action and getting people into work.
Catch22 Include
Catch22 Include schools help vulnerable young people with challenging behaviours to realise their full potential.
With extensive experience of delivering services to children and young people who have experienced difficulties in mainstream schools, we support learners to achieve academic and vocational targets and progress into education, training, and employment. This approach delivers significant long-term benefits to learners, parents and carers, communities, and local authorities.
Our independent schools and a range of tailored support programmes are targeted at young people who fall into high-risk groups in all key stages, including those who are excluded or at risk of exclusion from mainstream schools, or Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), and those with social, emotional and/or mental health needs (SEMH) or special educational needs (SEN).
The role of Teaching Assistant is an excellent opportunity to support in changing the lives of young people within our Primary school. This role will contribute to a high-quality and invaluable programme of education for vulnerable students who present challenging behaviours. Providing guidance for our pupils, you will ensure that students are effectively supported, motivated, and challenged.
Resilience is a key part of this role, alongside a good standard of education and a proactive attitude towards learning behaviour management techniques - implementing strategies and utilising de-escalation to diffuse behavioural issues.
