1:1 Teaching Assistant
Help shape a child's learning journey with care, creativity and connection
Summary
A welcoming primary school is looking for a thoughtful and engaging 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a KS2 pupil with global developmental delay, currently working at a KS1 level. This long-term position is ideal for someone who can bring warmth, consistency and imagination to their work, adapting support to match a personalised curriculum.
About the Role
This is a rewarding opportunity to support a child who thrives with clear routines, a hands-on approach and gentle encouragement. Working closely with the class teacher, you'll help deliver a bespoke, accessible learning experience tailored to the pupil's stage of development. Your role will involve:
- Providing calm, patient 1:1 support throughout the school day
- Using creative and practical strategies to keep learning engaging and meaningful
- Supporting communication, independence and confidence in the classroom
- Encouraging social interaction and peer inclusion at the child's pace
- Collaborating with the teacher and SENCO to follow an adapted curriculum plan
- Offering consistent encouragement and care to help the child feel secure
Who We're Looking For
This role is suited to someone with experience in SEND, care, or support work, particularly with pupils who need differentiated teaching and nurturing support. A good sense of humour, creativity and a calm, encouraging presence are essential. You should be:
- Adaptable and responsive to the needs of the individual child
- Compassionate, consistent and emotionally attuned
- Confident in supporting pupils working below age-related expectations
- Experienced in SEND, EYFS or 1:1 support roles (or able to demonstrate transferable skills from care or similar settings)
- A team player who communicates well with staff and families
The School
This is a caring, inclusive school that values every child as an individual. Staff take a collaborative approach to meeting additional needs and pride themselves on building trusting relationships with children and families. The school offers a nurturing environment where pupils are encouraged to grow in confidence and ability at their own pace.

Friday: 9.00am - 3.00pm
Term time only
Start date: ASAP
The Benefits
- Competitive pay
- Warm, collaborative team with SEND expertise
- Chance to gain valuable experience in a long-term setting
