This is a general classroom support role with a lovely group of well-behaved children. There are no EHCPs in the class, though some pupils show ASD tendencies, so a patient and understanding approach is key.

• Working with individuals and small groups in phonics, reading, writing and maths
• Helping pupils stay focused, motivated and confident
• Supporting children with ASD tendencies using calm, consistent routines
• Preparing resources and keeping the classroom organised
   

What we're looking for:

• Experience working with children, ideally in a primary school (KS1 experience is a bonus)
• A motivated, hard-working and positive attitude
• The ability to inspire and encourage children to do their best
• Patience and understanding, with awareness of ASD or a willingness to learn
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one
   

What's on offer:

• £14 per hour
• Two-term contract with the potential to become permanent from September 2027
• Term-time hours with a great work-life balance
• Happy, well-behaved children and a supportive staff team
• A dedicated consultant to support you throughout the process
