1:1 Teaching Assistant for a child with SEN

We are looking for an enthusiastic and capable teaching assistant to join our supportive team. The role will include supporting a child 1:1 with SEN as well as small group support.

If you

• Genuinely enjoy supporting children and believe that every child can achieve
• Are enthusiastic, work well in a team and believe that learning should be creative and fun
• Want to be part of an enthusiastic, friendly and motivated team.

Then we can offer you an opportunity to work in a happy, friendly school with a very supportive senior leadership team. Every day is different and our staff are very supportive of each other and always willing to listen or brighten each other’s days. This is always reflected in our children who speak strongly of the school and are always praised for their knowledge, enthusiasm, manners and behaviour.

We place a high value on staff welfare and well-being which includes support such as reduced cost child care, higher priority for Willowcroft school admissions and family friendly policies.

We encourage staff professional development, including further training within your role and the opportunity to train to become a teacher while working in school. Our SLT, SEN team and Pastoral team are always willing to listen and support you with your job.

Willowcroft School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All candidates will be requested to complete a DBS check and references will be required in line with our safeguarding policy.
