Teaching Assistant job summary

A Teaching Assistant is required to provide in-class support, group intervention and one-to-one learning for a named child with an EHCP at our primary school. This role will offer the successful candidate opportunities to support both the staff and children, challenge barriers to learning and ensure the achievement of each student is maximised. The successful candidate must be able to communicate effectively with children, colleagues and parents both verbally and in writing. Teaching Assistants are an essential part of our pupils’ education and so they are expected to have a good level of education themselves.

Experience of working with children with Early Years, EHCPs or on the SEN register would be an advantage. A relevant Level 3 qualification is desirable but not essential. The successful candidate must be willing to complete any necessary training.

Working hours are likely to be 8.15 am – 3.45pm. This role is being advertised as a part time position of 3 days per week.
