What skills and experience we're looking for
Woodcote Primary School are opening an additional Enhanced Resource Base (ERB) after the success of our 2 current ERBs. This is giving us the opportunity to add to our wonderful staff team.
We are looking for dedicated and compassionate individuals to work with the children in our SEMH ERB, supporting within a class of 10 children.

The successful applicants will also be required to use Team Teach when necessary - full training will be provided.
Whilst this role is within our KS2 ERB, there may also be the opportunity to spend time supporting in mainstream or within our C&I ERBs. You will work closely with class teachers and specialist staff to implement personalised strategies, supporting the children's SEMH needs and helping them to access their adapted learning.
What the school offers its staff
- Children who are a joy to spend time with.
- A hard working team of staff and governors who will support you.
