SEND Teaching Assistants

We are looking to build an EYFS SEND team to support the complex needs of some of our learners. Their difficulties include:

Attention and listening
Turn taking
Talking in sentences
Playing with adults and other children.

Some of the work will be 1:1 but not necessarily with the same pupil.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual to make a real difference to a group of children’s development, supporting and encouraging them as they strive to achieve their goals.

The successful candidate must be enthusiastic, patient, calm and have the ability to work within a team. They must also have a good standard of English (written and spoken) and Maths to enable them to model and support appropriately, as well as excellent interpersonal skills. In return, we can offer a supportive environment with quality CPD and the opportunity to be part of a developing team, supported by two exceptionally capable and experienced colleagues, both with a great sense of humour!

Whilst the post is initially offered on a fixed term basis from 1^st September 2023 to 31^st August 2024, we envisage this being an ongoing need and anticipate the contract will be renewed. Hours are 8.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday, term time only. For the right candidate, these hours could be flexible.

The closing date is as published, however if a strong candidate applies, we reserve the right to appoint before this date.

Guston Church of England Primary School is committed to safeguarding children and all posts are subject to mandatory checks for safeguarding and employment.

This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
