Advert

We are looking to appoint an experienced 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a Key Stage 2 child who has specific learning difficulties. This is a highly rewarding role, both professionally and personally, and would be a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to make a difference to the lives of children requiring additional support to succeed in the mainstream setting.

Experience of working with children with SEN is desirable. 

This is a one year temporary post and will be for approx. 15 hours per week. The work pattern would ideally be Monday-Friday afternoons but there is some flexibility.

 The successful candidate will be required to:

  • Work in liaison with the class teacher and SENCo
  • Deliver a variety of interventions
  • Address emotional and behavioral needs
  • Develop positive learning behaviour by supporting the aims and Christian ethos of the school
  • Support the class teacher in maintaining professional records

In order to qualify for interview it would be beneficial to have worked in a primary school for at least 6 months within the past 2 years.

Visits to the school to meet the staff and children are warmly encouraged!

The successful candidate will join a highly effective and supportive team of teaching assistants in our small, friendly rural school.

 

Information about the school

Bodsham School is set in the heart of the beautiful Kentish countryside and is Federated with Saltwood Church of England Primary school outside Hythe. There are 76 pupils on roll arranged in four classes. Year R are taught separately and there are mixed age classes from Year 1 to Year 6. The Christian ethos is central to the running of the school and there is strong support from our community of parents and carers, as reflected in our Ofsted Inspection in June 2022 which described the school as Good with Outstanding features.

Children receive a rich and varied education in our lovely grounds and we use the school minibus to help children experience trips to local sites of interest. Numbers of pupils on the special needs register and receiving free school meals are below the national average.

All staff at Bodsham CEP benefit from our Federation with Saltwood CEP by sharing staff development events, having regular opportunities for collaboration in areas such as moderation and planning and accessing the support and resources a larger school can provide.
