Teaching Personnel are working closely with a welcoming and supportive primary school in central St Austell who are seeking a dedicated 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a pupil with additional needs from September.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building positive relationships and providing consistent support to help a child thrive both academically and emotionally.

• Patient, caring and nurturing
• Calm under pressure
• Positive and resilient
• Able to build strong relationships with children
• Passionate about helping pupils overcome barriers to learning
• Reliable and committed to providing consistency
