About the role

You will primarily be supporting children within our Reception team that have additional needs within the learning environment and at break times. Training will be given in this area to the successful candidate.
The position would ideally suit someone who is calm and patient with the ability to inspire and motivate children.
The post is for 30 hours a week and will involve support in the classroom setting and at break/lunch times.
Excellent literacy and numeracy skills are essential, as well as the ability to work as part of a team.
The post will involve:
Supporting the child in 1:1 sessions, group and whole class basis
Developing their social interaction skills
Liaising with parents and external agencies
Implementing individual support programmes
We can offer:
Happy motivated children who value learning
A creative approach to the curriculum
