Supporting a child on a one-to-one basis is a special opportunity and we are proud to be recruiting for the ideal candidate who maintains our standards and supports children to flourish.
Our school is a friendly, positive village school with high standards expected of the children within a caring, Christian ethos. We value partnerships with parents, carers and the community to create a stimulating, learning environment for the children. We plan an active curriculum that aims to be vibrant, challenging and creative with clear skills progression for learning. The school is at the heart of the village of Glinton, just north of Peterborough. Our core Christian values are at the core of everything we do. They have been written in consultation with our local incumbent, staff, pupils and parents. They are embedded in our curriculum and underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
Are you a compassionate and committed individual with a passion for supporting children with additional needs? We are looking for a dedicated 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a pupil with high needs. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in a child’s life by providing tailored support to help them thrive in our inclusive school environment.
At Peakirk, we embrace the fact that every child is different and therefore, the educational needs of every child are different. We believe that every child is a precious and unique gift from God. Our inclusive approach to SEND is rooted in our Christian values of Compassion Respect, Trust, Friendship, Peace and Harmony and Forgiveness. We are committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of their individual needs or abilities, feel welcomed, supported and celebrated within our community. We work in partnership with families, professionals, and the wider community to provide a nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. The ideal candidate will therefore support and uphold these expectations and standards.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing 1:1 support for a pupil with complex needs, in line with their EHCP
- Supporting learning, communication, and social development
- Working closely with the class teacher, SENDCo, and external professionals
- Contributing to a nurturing and structured learning environment
- Communicating with families
We are looking for someone who is:
- Enthusiastic, approachable and friendly
- Has experience supporting children with SEND,
- Is patient, empathetic, and adaptable
- Can work effectively as part of a team and independently
- Is committed to promoting inclusion and celebrating every child’s strengths
- Has good literacy, numeracy, and communication skills
- Has experience of early years and the early years curriculum
- A person who understands our children and our community and who is able to build supportive and respectful relationships with children whilst maintaining confidentiality and following the school’s Code of Conduct;
- An energetic individual who smiles often, engages with the children and models the values and ethos of our school at all times.
- Ensures all children feel safe, happy and able to learn
- Supportive of the ethos of a Church and Trust school.
In return, we can offer you:
- A welcoming and caring school, that encourages everyone to give their best at all times, that aims to contribute all they can to our life as a school community
- A collaborative and supportive school community that is underpinned by the Christian ethos, driven by a shared passion of children’s welfare and education
- A rewarding and exciting working environment, that inspires and challenges within a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.
