You will provide targeted support to individuals and small groups, helping pupils understand instructions, complete activities and develop greater confidence and independence.

Supporting Pupils Across the School

You will support pupils across the primary age range and work with children with a range of learning needs and abilities. This may include supporting pupils with SEND, delivering interventions, reinforcing key learning and helping children develop positive learning habits.

1:1 & Small Group Support

The schools are looking for someone who can provide consistency, patience and a calm presence, while building strong and trusting relationships with pupils.

Teamwork & Communication
