We are looking to appoint a highly motivated 1:1/ SEN teaching assistant to join our dedicated and supportive team. You should be a positive and enthusiastic person who loves working with children and helping them to strive for their best.

You should have a high standard of general education with good numeracy and literacy skills. You will be able to communicate effectively with children and adults, have a flexible and resilient attitude and be friendly and approachable. Experience of working with children, good time management and the ability to work flexibly using your own initiative are essential. All applications will be considered and while SEN experience would be an advantage, it is not essential as relevant training will be given to the right candidate.

The main focus of the role is to provide 1:1 support to pupils in need of additonal support, but your responsibilities may include:

Supporting children in achieving curriculum objectives in English, Maths and foundation subjects;
Leading 1:1 and group intervention programmes;
Feeding back to the class teacher, maintaining records of progress and behaviour;
Working with children to support any social, emotional, behavioural, personal care or medical needs;
Liaising with parents and external professionals.

Children will be at the heart of your work. You must be able to demonstrate that you understand the importance of educating the whole child, that you want the very best for them and are prepared to put their needs first.
