Job description

Teaching Assistant - SEND

32.5 hours per week (8:40am to 3:40pm, Monday to Friday)

Knavesmire Primary School is looking for a positive and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to work within our team to provide support for some of our most vulnerable pupils. The role will involve some small group intervention work, some 1:1 support for pupils and some work within our School House SEN provision.

You will have GCSE qualifications in maths and English at a grade C/4 or above, or equivalent, and will have experience of working with children or young people, and ideally some previous experience of working with children with SEND. You will have the skills to work alongside class teachers and our school SENCo to ensure that children are able to access an ambitious curriculum and make positive progress against their own personal targets.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Is calm, caring and consistent in their approach

  • Is committed to maintaining our high standards and wants to make a difference

  • Is passionate about the ethos and values of the school

In return, we can offer a supportive working environment, with colleagues who care deeply, are experts in their fields and who are passionate about what they do. We also offer a range of staff benefits, and further details regarding our benefits can be found on our website here.

The trust will be undertaking a job evaluation exercise in the near future and, therefore, the grade for this position may change.

Further details about our school are available on our school website: https://knavesmireprimary.co.uk/
