Working alongside our teaching staff, you will play an important role in supporting children’s learning, wellbeing and development, helping to raise achievement and enable every child to reach their full potential.

The successful candidate will be confident working with children across the primary age range and will be able to build positive relationships with pupils, staff and families. They will be someone who can use their own initiative, work effectively as part of a team and embrace the varied nature of school life with flexibility and enthusiasm.

The role will include delivering targeted interventions, supporting high-quality teaching in the classroom and leading some teaching sessions. It may also involve providing one-to-one support for a child with SEND, helping to remove barriers to learning and enabling them to access the curriculum successfully. Above all, you will play an important part in creating a calm, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported and able to succeed.

 Hours will be from 8:30am to 3.30pm including lunchtime supervision. The role will be for 32.5 hours weekly term-time only. 

If you enjoy working with children and feel you could be a valuable member of our team please look through our LSA job description.

Benefits: This LSA/SEN 1:1 role offers opportunities for professional growth and development, committed colleagues who engage at the highest level and delightful, happy children who are eager to learn and be successful.
