About the role
Teaching Assistant - Dover
We are currently working with a welcoming and inclusive Primary School in Dover who are looking for a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join their team.
Although the school is a mainstream Primary setting, they have a high level of SEN needs across the school, making this an excellent opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who is passionate about supporting children with additional needs and helping them overcome barriers to learning.
The successful candidate will work closely with class teachers and the wider support team, providing both classroom and targeted support to pupils.
The role:
- Supporting pupils across the Primary age range
- Providing 1:1 and small-group support
- Supporting children with a range of SEN and additional needs
- Helping pupils overcome barriers to learning
- Assisting teachers with classroom activities and learning
- Supporting pupils' social, emotional and academic development
- Working closely with teachers and the wider school team
- Creating a positive, inclusive and nurturing learning environment
The ideal candidate:
- Previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant is desirable
- Experience supporting children with SEN is highly desirable
- Patient, nurturing and understanding
- Confident supporting pupils with a range of needs
- Able to build positive relationships with children
- Reliable, adaptable and enthusiastic
- Holds an Enhanced DBS, or is willing to obtain one
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Teaching Assistant who particularly enjoys SEN-focused work but would like to work within a mainstream Primary School environment.
If you're passionate about helping children succeed and are looking for a rewarding opportunity in Dover, we'd love to hear from you.
Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
