• Provide emotional reassurance and consistency for pupils with a range of social and emotional needs.
• Build positive relationships with children, helping them feel safe, confident and ready to learn.
• Use your initiative to adapt to the needs of the classroom and support behaviour positively.

✔ Experienced as a Teaching Assistant or HLTA within a primary school.
✔ Passionate about supporting children's emotional wellbeing as well as their academic progress.
✔ Calm, patient and resilient, with excellent relationship-building skills.
✔ Proactive and able to use their own initiative throughout the school day.
✔ Looking to build a long-term career within education.

• Full-time, long-term opportunity in a supportive primary school.
• A chance to make a lasting impact on children's confidence, wellbeing and learning.
• Ongoing support and professional development through Teaching Personnel.
• Opportunity to gain valuable experience within a fantastic Key Stage 1 setting.
