Job overview
Eaton Square School is looking to employ a creative, caring and enthusiastic person to fill an exciting one-to-one support role in our Pre-Prep section of the School. Eaton Square School is a well established Nursery, Pre-Prep and Preparatory School for children from 2 1/2 to 13 years, in the heart of Belgravia. Classes are small and you would have the benefit of working alongside a very supportive team.
Excellent language skills and interpersonal skills are essential, along with good organisation and a willingness to commit fully to every aspect of class life.
It will also be necessary to have a good understanding of appropriate behaviour and the way in which to encourage social assimilation within the classroom by way of behavioural analysis, appropriate systems of reward and sanction and praise and reinforcement for good conduct.
The learning support assistant will work closely with the class teacher, helping to adapt the curriculum in order to meet the pupil's needs. An important part of the role will be to find, make and manage resources that are appropriate to the pupil's needs and ability. It is hoped that the presence of a one-to-one assistant will enable the pupil to engage fully in every learning activity that takes place, once the task has been adapted to suit their level of attainment.
Previous experience in the field of special education is essential. Excellent Literacy and Numeracy skills are required, with appropriate qualifications at G.C.S.E. or equivalent. Patience, assertiveness and excellent organisational skills are indispensable in this position.

About Eaton Square School
Every child, every single child has the capacity to excel." We believe education must be fostered from within - it stems from connecting not directing.
Eaton Square School is an independent, coeducational Nursery, Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory school in the heart of central London, educating children from the age of 2 ½ to 11 years of age. Offering continuity of education in the important formative years of a child's life, the school is a vibrant, popular community where children learn not only the skills, but also the values that will prepare them for the next stage of their life at senior school and beyond.
Eaton Square School offers a breadth and depth of education, which goes beyond academic success in examinations and into every sphere of life. Equal emphasis is placed on intellectual, artistic, aesthetic, physical and musical pursuits. In addition, we want children to learn moral and spiritual values that will make them happy and confident in themselves, without arrogance.
Eaton Square School is a part of Dukes Education. Dukes Education is a family of schools and education organisations based in the UK. We bring together schools that are diverse in their offering, and yet united as outstanding examples of teaching and learning.
