Are you a Teaching Assistant with a genuine passion for working with children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN)? Are you wanting to make an impact on two children’s lives for the last two years of their primary education? If so then we may have just the role for you!
***
The school are looking a Teaching Assistant with ALN experience – this role is full time, working with two boys in Year 4 who both have similar complex needs. The boys are taught within a mainstream classroom, so you would be their mentor/guide/and support throughout the day to assist with tasks as set by the class teacher.
You must have a creative, and open mind to working with these two boys. We are looking for someone who can engage the children by adapting their work to work within the child’s interest, and to be as kind, passionate and caring as possible with the understanding these boys aren’t the same as the majority of the class. They are unique. You will also require a resilient setting, and a good sense of humour for the more challenging days, as they will happen! Positivity, and not giving up at the first hurdle is key for these pupils.
***
This school itself is a community centered school catering just over 320 pupils in the east of Cardiff. Nearly 100 of these attend the nursery on a part-time basis. The school opened in September 2015 and is intended to grow year-on-year to provide eventually for pupils of the full primary age range. The average of pupils eligible for free school meals over the last three years is around 9%, and this is below the national average of 18%. The school identifies 18% of pupils as having additional learning needs and around 23% of pupils have English as an additional language. It’s a very diverse and welcoming school to be in, for pupils and staff alike.
