At Willowbrook, we have set up a Communication and Interaction Pod to support children who are struggling to access learning in a large busy classroom.

There will be the opportunity to build strong relationships with children and staff and deliver a range of interventions.

We are looking for a teaching assistant who will work with the teacher and the other Pod teaching assistant to develop fantastic provision for these children. You will need to have good organisational skills, an empathetic approach and be able to reflect on your practice.
