Vision for Education is seeking a caring and reliable Teaching Assistant to provide dedicated 1:1 support at a welcoming primary school in Bootle.

Starting on 2 November, this ongoing role is expected to continue throughout the academic year. You will join a supportive school team committed to helping every pupil feel safe, included and ready to learn.

About the role

You will support a pupil with moderate learning difficulties and additional communication, attention and emotional-regulation needs. The pupil requires continuous adult supervision due to limited awareness of danger and benefits from a calm, consistent approach.

• Providing consistent 1:1 support and supervision to keep the pupil safe
• Adapting activities into short, achievable steps
• Using practical, visual and play-based approaches to support learning
• Using Now and Next boards, visual choices and simple prompts
• Giving clear instructions and allowing time for the pupil to process information
• Supporting transitions and responding calmly to frustration or distress
• Building engagement through music, numbers, sensory activities and puzzles
• Encouraging communication, positive interactions and growing independence
• Following the pupil's individual support plan and recognising when a quieter environment is needed

About you

You will be patient, nurturing and observant, with the confidence to maintain clear, consistent boundaries. You should be able to build a trusting relationship and respond sensitively when the pupil becomes overwhelmed.

Experience supporting children or young people with SEND, communication difficulties or emotional and behavioural needs would be particularly valuable. Relevant experience gained in care, community or family settings will also be considered.

Requirements

• Previous experience supporting children or young people
• A calm, proactive and consistent approach
• Confidence providing close 1:1 support
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting children's welfare
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to obtain one
