Teaching Assistant - ELF job summary
We are seeking to appoint an exceptional teaching assistant to join the Emotional Literacy and Feelings (ELF) team at Malmesbury Park Primary Academy.
The role involves working in a team of three to provide ELF support to children with social and emotional needs, as well as providing support to the wider school community as required. Part of the role will entail developing strong relationships with parents, carers and children alike. You may act as a key person for a number of children, taking responsibility for their social and emotional wellbeing throughout their time with us.
The ideal candidate will be hard working, friendly and outgoing. They will have an enthusiasm for working with children, particularly those with social and emotional needs. They will have a talent for engaging with sometimes complex children, encouraging social interaction, developing independence, self esteem and encouraging all individuals to achieve their goals.
The right person will be confident in dealing with challenging behaviour and understanding complex social and emotional issues. A qualification to support children with social and emotional needs would be highly beneficial – for example ELSA.
