Student Support Assistant

Student Support Assistant
The British International School Abu Dhabi is seeking to appoint Student
Support Assistants to join our Inclusion Team next academic year. This is a
learning support role within a well-established and supportive team in a
highly successful and expanding school.
About the Role
The Student Support Assistant role consists of supporting the inclusion of
pupils with additional educational needs.
A Student Support Assistant will normally work with an individual student,
supporting them to overcome barriers to learning (for example, those with
English language difficulties, social and emotional and behavioural
difficulties or other academic educational needs).
The aim of the Student Support Assistant is to help the pupil to learn as
effectively as possible both in group and individual situations, inside and
outside of the classroom. In conjunction with the Head of Inclusion, Head of
AEN or EAL Coordinator, you will assist in the development and delivery of a
suitable programme of support both within the classroom and on a one-to-one
basis.
Successful candidates will be fluent English language speakers. Fluency in an
additional language would be an advantage. Experience of working in a school
environment would be desirable, as would degree-level education.

school with a committed and inspirational team of teaching professionals at
