Location: NP7
Role: 1:1 Teaching Assistant
Contract: Full-time
Start: ASAP
Are you patient, resilient and passionate about making a genuine difference to a child’s school experience? We’re looking for a confident and nurturing 1:1 Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming primary school in the NP7 area, supporting a pupil in Key Stage 2 who needs some extra help with their behaviour, focus and engagement in school.
The Role
You’ll work closely with the pupil on a 1:1 basis, helping them feel settled, supported and ready to learn. The pupil can sometimes find it difficult to stay focused and engaged in school and may display some challenging behaviours. Your role will be to provide the calm, consistent and positive support they need to manage these moments and have a successful school day. You’ll be there to celebrate the wins, whether that’s completing a piece of work, managing a difficult moment or simply having a positive day in school.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Providing dedicated 1:1 support to a KS2 pupil
- Helping them stay focused, engaged and involved in learning
- Supporting with behaviour and emotional regulation
- Building a strong, positive and trusting relationship
- Using a calm and consistent approach during challenging moments
- Encouraging independence, confidence and positive choices
- Working closely with the class teacher and wider school team
- Helping the pupil feel safe, settled and successful in school
Who We’re Looking For
We’d love to hear from you if you are:
- Patient, nurturing and resilient
- Confident supporting children who may display challenging behaviour
- Able to build positive relationships and maintain clear boundaries
- Calm and consistent when dealing with difficult situations
- Passionate about helping children reach their potential
Previous experience working with SEN, additional learning needs, behaviour or 1:1 support would be beneficial. However, the right attitude, personality and ability to connect with the pupil are incredibly important for this role.
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to have a real impact on one pupil’s education. Your support could be the difference between them struggling to remain engaged in school and beginning to thrive. If you’re looking for a rewarding Teaching Assistant role where you can see the difference you’re making every day, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today!
