What skills and experience we're looking for
We wish to recruit a positive and engaging Teaching Assistant needed to support the learning of children with special educational needs across year groups, in particular Key Stage 1.
The post is to provide support to the teacher and pupil(s), specifically focusing on the pupil's individual needs, and to motivate the child/children to learn and to achieve. We are able to consider for this role either an experienced TA or someone looking for an opportunity to develop as a TA.
