Teaching Assistant

I am currently working closely with an OUTSTANDING mainstream Primary School in Horsforth, LS18 who are looking to appoint a specialist teaching assistant to work with pupils in school with special educational needs. The School is well known for their support of children with additional needs and are looking for a teaching assistant to work 1-1 with children who have specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.

You will be working in class with children across Key Stage 2 during their Literacy lesson supporting them with reading, writing, spelling and grammar.

Experience of working with children is essential, you must have at least 3 months voluntary or employed experience of working with children of a primary age rage (4-11). A specialism in English would be preferred however this is non-essential.
