Academics are currently working with this Primary school in Wandsworth to appoint a Teaching Assistant with a good understanding of phonics or experience working with children who have English as an additional language. This role would be brilliant for a teaching assistant who likes to work independently and have responsibility for taking children out of class to take part in small group and 121 intervention to improve their ability in English.
The children you will be working with are in the early stages of learning English as an additional language and could be in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
