    Teaching assistant and SEN support profile

    A teaching assistant and SEN support profile is the one page an education agency sends a school so it can match a TA to a pupil's needs. Formatix fills it from the CV and your notes, shows the TA level and the SEN needs supported only as the documents name them, and lists what the school will still expect.

    What it is

    Schools placing support staff look first at the needs a person has supported and the kind of support they give, then at level, training and availability.

    The Formatix template fits one page: name, role and base; SEN needs supported and support provided; how they supported those needs; TA level, qualification, key stages, first aid and availability; a profile; training and certificates with dates; recent placements; and a Still needed box. Its footer says level, training and availability are as stated by the candidate and the agency.

    Anything not stated reads "Not stated" on the page.

    The Still needed list

    Frequently asked questions

    Can it be used for HLTAs?
    Yes. HLTA status appears when the documents state it, along with the qualification and any class cover the person has done.
    Does it work with our ATS or CRM?
    JobAdder, Salesforce, HubSpot and Ezekia connect to Formatix natively on every plan, including the free trial. Any other ATS or CRM works with Formatix by email: send the CV and your notes to [email protected] and the filled document comes back.
