• Help pupils develop independence, emotional regulation, and routine
• Communicate effectively with staff, parents, and external professionals
• Promote inclusion and consistency as a Teaching Assistant
• Assist with classroom transitions, behaviour, and pupil engagement
• Contribute to a caring, child-centred team as a committed Teaching Assistant

• A nurturing, adaptable, and proactive approach to support
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• DBS on the update service (or willingness to apply)
• Full-time availability from September
• A genuine passion for supporting young learners as a Teaching Assistant
