We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic LSA to provide support for learning activities by children on an individual or group basis in our Early Years / KS1 department. Experience of working with Deaf or hard of hearing children and young people is advantageous, but not essential.

Experience working with children with a range of additional needs will be an advantage.
We are looking for someone who is:

• Able to work flexibly and use own initiative
• Friendly, approachable and can work in a calm manner at all times
