Summary
About the Role
As a Level 3 Teaching Assistant, your role goes beyond general support. You will work collaboratively with teachers to plan and differentiate lessons, ensuring that every child—regardless of ability—can access the curriculum. A key part of this position involves supervising whole classes during the short-term absence of the teacher, delivering pre-prepared work to ensure learning continues without disruption. You will also play a significant role in the assessment of pupils and the review of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), making this an ideal role for someone looking to make a deeper impact on student progress.

Cover Supervision: Supervise the class during the temporary absence of the classroom teacher, delivering pre-prepared learning activities to ensure that pupil learning is not disrupted.
Assessment: Monitor and evaluate pupil performance against pre-determined learning objectives, providing regular feedback to the teacher and administering/marking routine tests in line with academy policy.
SEN Support: Contribute to the development and implementation of EHCPs, including attending and contributing to reviews to support pupils in response to their individual needs.
Environment: Establish and maintain an appropriate learning environment, selecting and adapting appropriate resources to facilitate agreed learning activities.
Behaviour Management: Support the organisation of pupils to ensure activities run smoothly; promote good behaviour and deal promptly with incidents, encouraging pupils to take responsibility for their own conduct.
Pastoral Care: Assist the class teacher with pastoral care to provide a supportive learning environment where individual needs are met.
Admin Support: Carry out clerical responsibilities to support the class teacher, such as photocopying, laminating, and creating pupil displays.
