- Assist the pupil in accessing the curriculum by tailoring materials and approaches to suit their learning style and developmental needs.
- Support the pupil’s social and emotional development, helping them manage challenges, build positive relationships, and foster independence.
- Work closely with the class teacher to monitor and track the pupil’s progress, providing regular feedback to help adjust their Individual Education Plan (IEP) as needed.
- Promote positive behaviour, assisting the pupil in managing any emotional or behavioural challenges in line with the school’s policies.
- Create a safe, inclusive, and motivating environment for the pupil, both in the classroom and during other school activities.
- Liaise with other staff, external professionals, and the pupil’s parents or carers to ensure consistent and effective support.
- Provide personal care where required, ensuring the pupil’s dignity and well-being at all times.
The Person
- Experience working with children with SEN, ideally within a primary school setting, and in a one-to-one support role.
- A patient, nurturing, and adaptable approach to supporting children with additional needs.
- Ability to modify teaching strategies and resources to meet the pupil’s individual learning needs.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with the class teacher, SENCo, and external specialists.
- A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
- Relevant qualifications (e.g., Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification) are desirable but not essential.
- Previous experience supporting children with developmental or learning difficulties such as Autism, ADHD, or other related conditions is highly advantageous.
Benefits:
- £16.15 per hour.
- A supportive and inclusive school community with a strong commitment to SEN inclusion.
- Opportunities for continuous professional development and training.
- A rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to a child with special educational needs.
