The Federation of The Downs and Northbourne CEP is looking to appoint a teaching assistant to join our team at Northbourne CEP. This is a contract, linked to individual support for a specific pupil, initially until the end of the academic year 2019, with the potential to continue beyond that date. The post is to start as soon as possible.

Are you passionate about helping young people fulfil their potential? Do you have experience working with children in the primary range?  Do you have the ability to inspire children and encourage them to grow in independence and self-confidence? Would you like to have the opportunity to support a child with ASD in their learning and development?

We are seeking to appoint a hardworking and friendly Teaching Assistant to support a pupil with ASD in our EYFS class.  You will ideally have experience of working with pupils in a school or nursery setting. You will need to have a high level of literacy and numeracy and some experience of improving outcomes for pupils both academically, emotionally and socially. We are looking for someone who is determined to secure the absolute best for children and will work hard to ensure they achieve everything they are capable of. As well as in the classroom, some support during unstructured play such as playtimes and lunchtimes will also be required.
