The Role
We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Teaching Assistant to provide 1-to-1 support for a bright, determined primary pupil with physical disabilities.

  • Collaborating with the SENCO, class teacher, and external therapists to implement IEPs.
  • Building a strong, trusting relationship that fosters both academic and emotional growth.
What we're looking for:
  • Experience: Previous experience supporting children with Physical Disabilities or SEN is highly desirable.
  • Attributes: You are patient, physically active, and have a "can-do" attitude.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to liaise with parents and staff.
  • Commitment: As this is a long-term role, we need someone who can offer the child stability and consistency.
