  • Supporting Teachers: Assisting the class teacher with lesson preparation, resource creation, and classroom management.

  • SEND Support: Providing targeted support to pupils with SEND, adapting resources and activities to meet individual needs, and contributing to EHCP/IEP reviews.

  • Assessment: Supporting pupil assessment, recording progress, and providing feedback to the class teacher.

  • Positive Learning Environment: Helping to create and maintain a positive, inclusive, and stimulating learning environment for all children.

  • Team Collaboration: Working effectively with teachers, other teaching assistants, parents, and the SENCO.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a supportive and collaborative school team dedicated to pupil success.

  • Opportunity to utilise your HLTA skills and take on significant responsibility.
