1-1 Teaching Assistant

OVERVIEW

At Westonbirt Prep, a creative and ambitious curriculum, a team of talented and enthusiastic staff and the glorious Gloucestershire countryside combine to create the perfect conditions for learning.

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic and caring learning support assistant with a ‘can-do’ attitude to join our friendly, supportive team as soon as possible.

The position involves working on a 1:1 basis with a child currently in Year 1 who has additional needs.

The child’s needs relate to:

  • Social Communication Needs (Autism)
  • Settling to the task and maintaining the child’s focus and attention
  • Supporting the child to become independent
  • Understanding and following routines
  • Helping the child to select scaffolding resources
  • Supporting at breaktime with play and interaction with peers

The pupil has no behavioural needs and is an absolute delight to work with.

You will be required to support the child not just in the classroom and day-to-day activities, but also through targeted interventions out of the classroom and social support.

Please note that the role also includes some breaktime and lunchtime duties, supporting the pupil with social interaction.

The role is initially 17.5 hours per week (term-time only) (9:00am – 12:30pm) working with a named child. We anticipate this rising to up to 40 hours per week (term-time only) in the future. This is a fixed term position and employment is dependent upon the pupil remaining at the school.

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed

Further details found in Candidate Pack, applications should be made via the Wishford Education Application Form, (which is a Word doc download) if you need assistance please email HR@Westonbirtschool.uk
