We are seeking a caring, patient and enthusiastic SEND Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in Croydon this September. This is a full-time, long-term opportunity to provide dedicated 1:1 support for a delightful Year 1 pupil with Down syndrome. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships and wants to make a genuine difference to a child's educational journey.
The successful candidate will become an important part of the child's daily routine, helping them to access learning, develop independence and thrive both socially and academically.
The Role
You will work exclusively with one Year 1 pupil throughout the school day, supporting them in the classroom, during playtimes and across the wider school environment. The pupil is a happy, affectionate and engaging child who enjoys coming to school and has excellent behaviour. They can communicate using British Sign Language (BSL); however, prior knowledge of BSL is not essential, as support and guidance will be provided. A willingness to learn and communicate using the child's preferred methods is more important than previous experience.
