Teaching Assistant SEND Support
About This Role
We are seeking a caring, patient and flexible Teaching Assistant to provide dedicated support for a child with an EHCP within Key Stage 1. The successful candidate will work closely with the child, teaching staff and parents to implement the outcomes outlined in the EHCP, supporting the child's learning, social development, emotional regulation and independence.
Previous experience of supporting children with SEND, including those who may display challenging behaviours is desirable but not essential. We are looking for someone who can build positive, trusting relationships through patience, understanding and unconditional positive regard. The ability to adapt expectations in response to the child's individual needs is essential.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues, contribute to planning and review meetings, maintain relevant records and undertake appropriate training. The role will also include 30 minutes of daily lunchtime supervision.
All applicants must demonstrate a strong commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
