Teaching assistant Level 3 Role Summary

We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Teaching Assistant to support pupils with diverse and complex learning needs. Working under the direction of teaching staff, you will provide in-classroom support, contribute to a positive and inclusive learning environment, and assist in managing pupils, resources, and classroom activities.

You will play a key role in supporting pupils with SEND, including implementing specialist programmes (e.g., speech and language, occupational therapy, and behaviour plans), promoting independence, and encouraging engagement in learning. You will also assist with lesson delivery, monitor progress, and provide feedback to teaching staff.
