We are looking for someone who is patient, energetic, and passionate about working with children and young people who require extra support. This Part-time Classroom Assistant role is ideal for someone seeking fulfilling work that fits around other commitments.

Are you a compassionate and motivated individual looking for a part-time role where you can make a meaningful difference? This exciting opportunity offers the chance to support pupils with additional needs in a specialist school setting, helping them thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

The role As a part-time classroom assistant, you will support pupils with a range of special educational needs, including learning difficulties, communication challenges, autism, and physical disabilities. You’ll work alongside teachers and therapists to deliver a tailored curriculum that supports each child’s unique learning journey.

You’ll also help to foster positive relationships, promote independence, and create a safe, calm classroom environment.

• Assisting pupils 1:1 and in small groups

You should have:

• A calm and encouraging manner
• The ability to follow instructions and respond to pupils’ needs with sensitivity
• A willingness to learn and undergo relevant training
• Good teamwork and communication skills

A qualification in childcare, support work, education or health and social care is desirable but not required.
