What skills and experience we're looking for

Hugo Meynell Primary School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Teaching Assistant to provide one to one support to a child within our Early Years Foundation Stage.

If you

• Are a caring and warm individual who wants to be part of a friendly and motivated team
• Genuinely enjoy supporting children and believe that every child can achieve
• Are enthusiastic, have excellent communication skills and believe that learning should be creative and fun

Then we can offer you an opportunity to work in our happy, friendly school.

• Develop interaction skills so the child can imitate play actions and take turns.
• Develop non-verbal communication skills so the child can make requests, show a preference through reaching and pointing and expressing wants and needs.
• Develop the child’s receptive language skills so they can engage with some classroom routines, understand simple instructions involving a choice, and follow directions containing two key words.
• Develop listening and attention skills on a one to one and a small group basis to allow the child to complete, and transition between, adult directed activities.
• Develop literacy skills so the child can imitate sounds, words and phrases and join in with familiar rhymes and songs.
• Develop numeracy skills so the child can use early maths concepts including matching, categorising, and counting.
• Develop mark making skills so the child can use a range of resources and materials to further develop their recording and handwriting skills.
• Assist children in matters of personal needs and their additional needs including first aid and welfare matters
• Follow guidance from the Speech and Language Therapist and Autism Inclusion Team.
• Encourage pupils to interact with others and engage in activities led by the teacher.
