Teaching Assistant 1:1 job summary

You will work under the instruction and guidance of teaching/senior staff to undertake work and support programmes to enable access to learning for pupils, which will assist the teacher in the management of pupils and the classroom. Work may be carried out in the classroom or outside the main teaching area. This role is primarily to work on a 1:1 basis with a pupil, with the possibility of some group interventions and some class support. It will include a daily lunch duty. The position is most likely to be based in one of our Early Years classes. This is a term-time working five days a week from 8.30am to 3.30pm.
