The role would be supporting pupils of a primary age with a variety of learning and behavioural difficulties, both on a 1:1 basis as well as small group work.

The school are ideally looking for someone who is adaptable, enthusiastic and has the ability to build rapport quickly with both pupils and staff.
Class sizes are smaller than mainstream schools and there will be support in the classroom from other teaching assistants and a class teacher, so you really will have the opportunity to make a difference!
