Responsibilities may include:

Supporting children in their personalised learning, both within a classroom setting and through specific interventions.

Feeding back to the class teacher and SENCo, keeping records of progress and behaviour.

Above all you need to like children, to want the very best for them and be prepared to put their needs first: children will be at the heart of your work.

Ramsgate Arts Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including reference checks with previous employers and an enhanced DBS check.
