Five ways Pathway help special education needs (SEN) teaching assistant manage work load.

Pathway vs Workload

Teaching staff across the spectrum of education, from mainstream comprehensives to alternative provision and special educational needs schools (AP & SEN schools) have seen a significant increase in workload and the hours they are being required to work.

Whilst some special education needs (SEN) teaching assistants accept this ever-increasing workload, here at Pathway Education, we believe it doesn’t have to be this way. Here are five ways that Pathway Education can help you defeat those workload blues.

Speedy registration:

Registering for teaching agencies is often a stressful and time-consuming process, and don’t get us started on the ID and DBS red tape. Pathway Education believes that your time is a valuable commodity and because of this, we’ve done everything we can to speed up and simplify our registration process, lessening your workload, and saving you time and energy.

You can easily upload all your ID documents to our portal on your phone or laptop and take part in quick in-person or Skype interviews within the week. We also can also help to fast-track your DBS and reference process. Our Simple registration process is just another way we’re doing our bit to save you time and put you first.
