Teaching Assistant

This post is to support a group of pupils within a mixed age Year 3/4 class. You will work under the guidance of teaching staff to support access to learning for pupils.

You will be able to support pupils by:

• Setting challenging expectations that encourage children to act independently and build self-esteem.
• Providing feedback to pupils in relation to progress and achievement under the guidance of the class teacher.

Applicants should possess an NVQ Level 3 qualification in teaching assistance or equivalent. Experience of supporting pupils with specific Literacy needs would be an advantage.
