About the role
We’re looking for a dedicated and proactive Education Support Assistant to join our vibrant school community. In this role, you’ll play a key part in ensuring every pupil, regardless of need, has access to a full and enriching school experience. You’ll work closely with teaching staff to deliver targeted learning activities that support literacy, numeracy and the wider curriculum, helping students achieve their personal academic success.
You’ll take the lead on delivering pre-planned sessions to small groups, support students with EHCPs and give feedback to teachers based strategies to meet individual needs. Whether it’s contributing to curriculum planning, using ICT to boost independence, or supporting students during break times and school trips, your work will be central to our mission of providing a great education for every child.
About you
You’re someone who brings warmth, initiative and a deep commitment to inclusive education. You understand that every student is unique and you’re ready to support them in reaching their full potential—academically, socially and emotionally.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has experience supporting pupils with individual needs, particularly those with EHCPs
- Can work independently, take initiative, and adapt to changing needs
- Is confident delivering pre-planned lessons to small groups
- Builds strong, positive relationships with students, staff, and families
- Is a role model for professionalism, positivity, and care
- Communicates clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing
- Is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people
- Has a good general education (GCSE grade 4 or above in Maths and English or Level 2 equivalent)
- Holds a Level 3 Teaching Assistant qualification—or is willing to work towards it
If you’re ready to make a meaningful impact in a school that values every child and every colleague, we’d love to hear from you!
