What will I be doing?
We are seeking an enthusiastic TA who has experience of working with children with additional needs. The role is within our Key Stage 1 and Reception class. The postholder will assist the class teacher and SENCO to deliver learning programmes to groups of children but mainly, they will work with a child with a high level of special educational needs with the EFYS curriculum. This post is challenging, extremely interesting and rewarding. This will involve providing supervision, support and care to a child in Year 1 with special educational needs including learning difficulties and some personal care needs. The postholder will work with this child and small groups of children with him included inside or outside the classroom to enable them to overcome a range of barriers to learning. Relevant training may be provided both within the school and by outside agencies to ensure all aspects of the child’s needs are met.
What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?
- previous TA experience and a good standard of literacy and numeracy
- a commitment to supporting and understanding pupil needs
- a positive, ‘can do’ and flexible attitude and be able to work collaboratively as part of a team.
What is in it for me?
Our delightful children are polite, enthusiastic and hardworking and we have a welcoming family atmosphere and caring ethos based on Church School Values and Vision “Grow in the Grace and Knowledge”. We are also a well-resourced school with plenty of hands-on learning and we offer a nurturing and inclusive environment for children and staff to flourish with a supportive community of staff, governors, parents and volunteers.
This is an exciting opportunity to support young children, and to work with a supportive team in a vibrant, aspirational and inclusive school. If you think you possess the qualities and experience we are looking for, we would very much like to hear from you.
