About you

The ideal candidate for this role would be friendly, approachable, and dedicated to assisting the class teacher with the day-to-day running of the classroom environment. This challenging yet incredibly rewarding opportunity would be perfect for an individual who is calm and caring, and can demonstrate a strong level of patience and resilience.

Experience with SEND is not necessary; the school are more interested in speaking with someone who is open-minded, eager and dedicated. If you DO have experience with SEND, however, that will be helpful as you will be working with children with complex additional needs. If you don't have experience with SEND, you must at least have some experience of working with children whether it be youth work, care work or healthcare.

A teaching assistant qualification or experience in working with children would be advantageous but not essential.

If you are keen to begin a career in the special educational needs and disabilities sector and this sounds like the role for you, we would love to hear from you!
