Do you want to make a real difference to a child’s life?

Two unique opportunities have arisen at Saltwood Church of England Primary School. We are seeking to appoint two special people who are keen to work with children on a 1:1 basis. To succeed in this role you will need the following:

  • A desire to give support to an individual child so that they may thrive at school and fulfil their potential in life.
  • The ability to understand and improve challenging behaviour.
  • The adaptability to recognise and respond to a child’s needs as they change throughout the day.
  • A good sense of humour and the ability to make learning fun.
  • The willingness to be part of a supportive team, working in the best interests of all the children in our school.

An understanding of ADHD and ASD in relation to behaviour needs will be necessary, As will an NVQ at Level 2 or above. Experience of teaching through phonics would be an advantage. You will need to set high expectations and help children achieve them.

These posts are based in Key Stage Two (22 hours per week over 4 days) and in the Early Years (27.5 hours per week over 5 days)  – if you have skills that might be specific to either of these age groups, please make this clear in your application. Both will be temporary contracts due to the nature of the High Needs Funding the school receives.

You will be working closely with the class teachers, our SENCO and parents to plan and deliver intensive support to children who can exhibit challenging behaviours from time to time but who will repay your hard work and dedication by sharing their learning journey with you.

Information about the school

Saltwood Play and Learning Centre is a registered charity with a team of up to 15 staff operating from the grounds of Saltwood School and offering childcare for nursery and school age children during term time.
