As a Teaching Assistant in our school, you will have a passion for every child’s learning and believe in enabling an inclusive environment for the benefit of all children.  Joining our friendly and supportive team, we need flexible, reliable, and enthusiastic colleagues to support children with social communication, learning, physical, and speech and language needs.  You will be an enthusiastic and resilient individual, preferably with experience of working with children with additional needs.

Assisting the Class Teacher, you will support pupils on a one-to-one or within a small group basis, across a wide range of activities and supported learning activities, including the preparation and maintenance of resources. You will need to be able to deal with challenging behaviour with a firm but fair approach. Being ELSA-qualified would be an advantage in supporting our pupils; however, it is not essential.

With a flexible, reliable and enthusiastic approach, you will be committed to developing effective working relationships with children, parents, staff and other professionals, to enable the very best support for children’s learning and development, whilst promoting excellent behaviour and high standards.
