• Support children in the room, working 1:1 or with a small group under the Classroom Lead's direction, helping each child take part, stay engaged, and access the activity at their level
• Prepare materials and deliver planned activities and the steps of each child's IEP as directed
• Help with toileting, feeding, and mobility where a child needs it — always with warmth, dignity, and privacy, following the school's procedures
• Help children move calmly between activities and support them to regulate using their agreed routine — spotting the early signs before a small wobble becomes a meltdown
• Use communication tools, regulation routines, and prompting methods the therapists and Classroom Lead have set, consistently, so the child gets the same approach from everyone
• Notice how a child is doing and feed it back to the Classroom Lead — what worked, what didn't, what changed — so the plan can improve
• Record activity notes as directed, hold information in confidence, and report any concern to the Classroom Lead immediately
• Apply the 'least-to-most' prompting ladder: wait and give the child time; use gesture or visual cues; provide verbal hints; model behaviour; use physical guide only as much as needed and fade as fast as possible

Descrizione del lavoro

The Educational Support Team — teacher assistants (TAs) — are the hands beside each child in an inclusive special-needs classroom. The TA is often the adult closest to an individual child moment to moment: helping them take part, stay regulated, communicate, and learn. They work under the Classroom Lead, who directs them, briefs them, and develops them. They do not lead the room or plan the curriculum — they make the Classroom Lead's plan real for the children in front of them. A great teacher assistant is the difference between a child being present in the room and a child genuinely learning and belonging. Done well, the role is skilled work: knowing exactly how much help to give, and when to step back.
