We currently have 12 children in our SRP from Foundation Stage to Year 5 with an EHCP for Speech, Language and Communication Needs. The children access highly personalised support in the SRP but are also fully included in a range of high quality learning opportunities within their mainstream classes. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Teaching Assistant to support children in our SRP.

Are you the right person to take advantage of this unique opportunity within our Speech and Language SRP team to support the development and progress of our children? Please make sure that your application reflects the range of your skills and experience, which would make you the ideal candidate to join our team.

The successful candidate will:

• Have a passion for making a difference and the ability to be flexible in order to meet children’s needs
• Work in partnership with the SRP Teacher and HLTA, and our Speech and Language Therapist, to achieve high quality provision for our children.

Candidates must have experience of working in a primary school setting.

We are looking for candidates who can support the inclusive and caring ethos of our school and who have the qualifications, experience and willingness to form and sustain positive relationships with children and staff, and be flexible in their approach to meet children’s needs.
