Humly is delighted to be working alongside a fantastic, welcoming primary school in Newton Aycliffe to find a dedicated and experienced SEN Teaching Assistant. This is a rare and rewarding opportunity to work within a wonderfully small Year 1 class of just 14 children. Your time will be split between supporting the general classroom dynamics and providing crucial, tailored support to one lovely little boy with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). If you are passionate about early childhood development, thrive in a close-knit classroom environment, and want the stability of a full academic year placement, we want to hear from you!
Key Responsibilities
- Provide 1:1 support for a pupil with an EHCP, ensuring their educational and emotional needs are met.
- Deliver high-quality Phonics interventions and support to the wider Year 1 class.
- Collaborate closely with the Class Teacher to adapt resources and create an inclusive learning environment.
- Foster a safe, engaging, and positive atmosphere for a small cohort of 14 pupils.
What We Are Looking For
- SEN Experience: Proven experience supporting children with Special Educational Needs (ideally 1:1 or with EHCPs).
- Phonics Expertise: Strong knowledge of Year 1 Phonics.
- The Little Wandle Advantage: Direct experience or knowledge of the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised scheme is a massive plus (though not strictly essential if you are a quick learner!).
