Support pupils individually and in groups, helping them develop literacy, numeracy, communication, and social skills
Assist with planning and delivering engaging lessons and learning activities
Implement positive behaviour strategies and maintain a calm, encouraging classroom atmosphere
Prepare classroom resources and support enriching trips and school activities
Maintain accurate records of pupil progress and behaviour
Work closely with teachers, therapy staff, and pastoral teams
Supervise pupils during break and lunch periods
About You
We’re looking for someone who is patient, resilient and passionate about supporting young people:
Grade C (or equivalent) in English and Maths
A calm, consistent and nurturing approach
A strong team player with excellent communication skills
A genuine commitment to helping pupils overcome barriers and succeed
Why Join Acorn Education?
We put pupil outcomes at the heart of everything we do, so every day you’ll know your work is making a meaningful impact.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and young people. All applicants will be subject to social media checks and successful applicants to a fully enhanced DBS.
