About the Role

We are seeking a caring, patient, and creative 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a wonderful KS2 pupil with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who truly wants to make a difference in a child’s learning journey and day-to-day school life.

• Experience (paid or voluntary) supporting children with ASD or additional needs
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A calm, positive approach and flexible mindset
• A genuine interest in primary education and child development
