Achievement Support Assistant job summary

Westcott Primary School is expanding its team and is seeking two dedicated and motivating Achievement Support Assistants to join our community of talented professionals.

We are a compassionate and nurturing school with a strong commitment to restorative and relational approaches. We are looking for individuals who are ambitious, reflective, and genuinely passionate about making a difference for children with SEND and SEMH needs.

Achievement Support Assistant - Key Stage 2
This role will involve working closely with children in Years 5 and 6 who present with SEMH needs. The successful candidate will have experience of supporting children with emotional regulation, behaviour, and social development, both one-to-one and in small groups. A calm, consistent approach and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships are essential.

Achievement Support Assistant - Nursery
This role will involve supporting children within our nursery provision. Experience of working in an early years setting is highly desirable, and a Level 3 qualification or training related to Early Childhood Development would be an advantage. You will have a strong understanding of child development, play-based learning, and how to support communication and early regulation skills.

For both roles, the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team, show initiative, and adapt support to meet children’s needs is essential. In return, you will join a dedicated and hardworking staff team, with access to high-quality support and ongoing professional development.

We strongly encourage prospective applicants to arrange a visit to the school to experience our inclusive and caring ethos first-hand.
