We are excited to be able to advertise for the position of 1:1 Teaching Assistant to join our highly collaborative and supportive team - we are looking for someone who can demonstrate experience in supporting a KS2 child who has previously been in care and has needs around attachment and Language & Communication.

Key responsibilities:

If you think you have the necessary skill set in working with and supporting children we would love to hear from you

Your hours of work will be 18.5 hours per week, term time only. The post is fixed-term, as it is dependent upon the named pupil’s continued attendance at this school and funding.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the school if they would like further details regarding the post.
