Summary

1:1 Teaching Assistant – Year 3 (EHCP Support)

Location: Rochester

Position: Full-Time (One-Form Catholic Primary School)

Start: January 2026

We are working with a welcoming one-form Catholic primary school in Rochester who are seeking an experienced, nurturing and patient 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a Year 3 child with an EHCP.

The child is non-verbal and has significant language disorder and social communication needs, so the school is looking for someone calm, consistent and attuned who can build a trusting relationship and provide high-quality personalised support.

About the Role:

You will be working 1:1 with the pupil throughout the school day, using a highly structured, visual and sensory-based approach. The child benefits from a total communication environment, including:

• Objects of reference
• Visuals and signing
• Simple, clear language
• Sensory regulation strategies

The role will include:

• Delivering short, focused 1:1 learning sessions
• Supporting engagement through personalised, motivating activities
• Facilitating social interaction and play
• Providing regular sensory breaks
• Supporting transitions using visual prompts
• Close supervision due to limited awareness of danger
• Supporting self-care routines (including a toileting programme)

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is calm, patient and emotionally attuned
• Can provide consistency and structure
• Can build a warm, trusting relationship
• Has experience with autism, communication needs, non-verbal pupils, or sensory support
• Ideally has experience with Intensive Interaction or similar communication approaches
• Is committed to helping a child thrive through individualised support

Rate: £100 - £110
