What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support the learning of a pupil with special educational needs. You will be tenacious and committed to supporting the needs of individual pupils whilst being an excellent team player and communicator.

The role of the successful candidate will include providing help with learning tasks; feeding back to class teachers on progress made; encouraging the pupil to take responsibility for their own learning and promoting the use of strategies to support the pupil to aspire to achieve their goals. Previous experience of working with pupils with different abilities would be an advantage, but experience is not essential as relevant training will be given. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in working with children with special educational needs.

The total number of hours per week is 30, with a working pattern of Monday to Friday 8:40 am to 3:30 pm (including a 50-minute unpaid break). The post is temporary as it is subject to the continued attendance of the child and/or the result of any special needs or funding review.
