Summary

Are you passionate about supporting children’s learning and development? We are looking to appoint two Senior Advanced Teaching Assistants to work collaboratively with teachers, the SENCO, and our inclusion team to plan, deliver, and evaluate impactful learning activities across the school. You will play a key role in supporting both individuals and groups of pupils, implementing targeted interventions, and fostering their social, emotional, and academic growth.

A vital aspect of this role is building and sustaining strong, collaborative partnerships with families. By communicating proactively and sensitively with parents and carers, you will ensure a cohesive approach to each child’s education and wellbeing, strengthening the home-school relationship to better support pupil success.

This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference, assisting in classroom planning, supervising learning activities, and nurturing positive, professional relationships with pupils, colleagues, and the wider school community. Additionally, you will support the induction and development of classroom support staff, helping to share best practice and maintain high standards across the school.
