Are you passionate about making a real difference in a child's life?
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate 1:1 Teaching Assistant to join our caring team at Ermine Primary Academy. This unique opportunity involves providing personalised support to a young child with additional learning needs and medical requirements. If you're ambitious, nurturing, empowering and committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every child can thrive, we want to hear from you!

As part of our team, you'll play a vital role in helping this child navigate their school journey—supporting both their educational progress and personal care needs, including intimate care and medical support. Join us in creating a positive, nurturing space where every child feels valued and included!

The new Teaching Assistant will have:

• A nurturing and empathetic approach to support children with additional needs, ensuring they feel safe and valued.

• Knowledge of medical care plans and experience (or a willingness to be trained) in administering medication and managing medical needs.
• Strong communication skills to build positive relationships with the child, their family, and school staff, ensuring everyone is aligned in supporting the child's development.
• Patience and resilience when faced with challenging behaviour or emotional situations, using strategies to manage these positively and constructively.
• A proactive and flexible attitude towards the child’s needs, adapting support as required to help them succeed both academically and socially.
• Commitment to promoting inclusion and independence, helping the child develop confidence, life skills, and a sense of belonging within the school community.

It is important for us to ensure that we are continually improving provision and outcomes for all our students. This is a really exciting opportunity for an individual who has a passion for working with children who have SEND with a committed and supportive team to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students.
