The role will include delivering targeted interventions, supporting high-quality teaching in the classroom and leading some teaching sessions. It may also involve providing one-to-one support for a child with SEND, helping to remove barriers to learning and enabling them to access the curriculum successfully. Above all, you will play an important part in creating a calm, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported and able to succeed.

Hours will be from 8:30am to 3.30pm including lunchtime supervision. The role will be for 32.5 hours weekly term-time only.

If you enjoy working with children and feel you could be a valuable member of our team please look through our LSA job description.

Benefits: This LSA/SEN 1:1 role offers opportunities for professional growth and development, committed colleagues who engage at the highest level and delightful, happy children who are eager to learn and be successful.
