Senior Advanced Teaching Assistant - Targeted Mainstream Provision

Selby High School is looking to recruit an enthusiastic and

experienced Senior Advance Teaching Assistant for the new Targeted Mainstream

Provision, which will open in September, 2026.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in developing a

provision which will have a positive impact on young people with additional

needs. The successful candidate will

work closely with the TMP Lead to develop the provision, which will be

supporting students whose main area of need is Communication and Interaction.

We are looking for somebody with:

- Excellent skills, knowledge and experience within Communication

and Interaction, and the desire to develop further in this area;

-Extensive experience of planning and delivering sessions

and interventions to groups of up to 8 students;

-The resilience and compassion to work with young people

with significant additional needs.

Selby High School Targeted Mainstream Provision

The Selby High School Targeted Mainstream Provision will be

a base within the school for six students with EHCPs, where the main area of

need is around Communication and Interaction.

There will also be two Assessment Places, for students with similar

needs, who will be assessed for an EHCP whilst in the provision.

Students will have a mixture of timetabled mainstream

lessons, and time in the TMP. In the

TMP, students will have lessons and one-to-one and small group sessions

delivered by the TMP staff and teaching staff.

Some lessons will have a curriculum focus, and others will be based

around social skills, and other life-based skills. Students will have access to cooking

facilities. Where appropriate, students

will also have access to some of our external-based provisions including Drax,

Selby Skills Centre and Noise Academy.

The amount of time spent within the TMP base will be

determined by the students’ level of need.

The ultimate aim will be for the majority of students placed at the TMP

to attend most of their mainstream lessons, but it is likely that there will be

students who will need to spend a significant amount of time in the provision.

The provision within the TMP will also be available to

students who are not officially within the TMP, but have needs that would be

well supported by the staff within the TMP.
