Holy Trinity Primary School is a welcoming, nurturing school where children are at the heart of everything we do. Guided by the Six Principles of Nurture, we create a safe, inclusive and language-rich environment where every child can thrive.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Level 4 Teaching Assistant with a strong understanding of adaptive practice and inclusion to work in our school.

While the initial deployment will be in our internal inclusion class - the Hive, the role may in the future be focused on supporting inclusion across the school. The successful candidate will be passionate about inclusion, being part of the Hive team and working alongside motivated colleagues.

The Hive is led by teachers but as a team, the staff work closely to provide a high quality SEND offer for children with complex social communication needs. All staff work collaboratively to ensure children's progress towards their own individual outcomes.

It is important that as a TA4, you are proactive, nurturing and child-centred, as well as being able to communicate effectively, support with planning and delivery of sessions alongside supporting with assessments within the team.

We value purposeful adult interactions that meet the individual needs of all children and, as a team, are committed to providing high-quality learning experiences throughout all of a child's school journey.

About the Candidate

This is a school where:

• Inclusion is not an add-on; it is at the heart of everything we do
• Relationships with children and families matter
• All children are valued and the staff work hard to support children to succeed and reach their full potential.

We offer happy, enthusiastic children, a supportive and experienced team, strong leadership and excellent professional development opportunities.
