What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to work with pupils as a one-to-one support. The role may also include an element of lunchtime cover.

The role is varied, challenging and rewarding. It demands high levels of motivation and commitment along with the ability to promote positive relationships with parent/carers and statutory agencies in order to support the educational progress of the pupil.

You will possess empathy, resilience, understanding, patience and be passionate about working with children to provide a calm and nurturing learning environment.

We seek an applicant who is motivated, confident and demonstrates the ability to use their initiative, working to deliver a bespoke curriculum which will include practical skills such as gardening, cooking and crafts. You will work effectively within a team to support the work of teachers in providing high quality learning opportunities for pupils.

Full training and support will be provided. Previous experience of working in a school or nursery environment is desirable but not a requirement.
