Summary
Job Advert: Teaching Assistant – Full time KS2 1-1 Support – Workington
Hannett Hale Recruitment is proud to be supporting a welcoming and beautiful primary school in Workington who are seeking an enthusiastic, adaptable, and reliable Supply Teaching Assistant to support KS2 pupil on 1:1 basis who is working at a significantly lower developmental level. The child is non verbal and communicates through body language and vocalisations. They are unable to access the curriculum through teacher led activities and instead engage best through exploration based learning. Their attention span is very short, and they are only able to remain focused for a few minutes at a time unless the activity is self chosen. This also applies during carpet time, where they can usually sit alongside peers for only a couple of minutes.
The child’s current 1:1 support uses the engagement curriculum to plan personalised, sensory based activities. The child presents similarly to a toddler in their developmental stage and may push activities away when they are not interested.
They are not an aggressive child; however, they are significantly developmentally delayed and require a patient, consistent and nurturing approach.
