We are looking for a committed LSA to join our dedicated support team. The successful applicant will be working under the direction of the Class teacher and Inclusion Leader. You will need to have a good standard of education and be able to promote the highest standards of learning and behaviour. You will need to be able to work as part of a team, have excellent communication skills and have the ability to build good professional relationships with pupils and parents. Experience of working with a child 1-1 or with behavioural difficulties is desirable but not essential.
The successful candidates will work primarily in class on a 1:1 basis to support pupils with their additional educational needs and will show enthusiasm, flair and commitment to achieving the best outcome for the children.
