We are looking for a caring and enthusiastic Learning Support Assistant to work on a 1:1 basis with a child who has complex needs. You will ideally have previous experience of working with SEND children; you must be able to stay calm under pressure and have the ability to use your own initiative when dealing with challenging situations.
The role is hard work and challenging, but the rewards are immense; we offer a supportive team and high quality professional development to enhance your skills and confidence in working with children with Special Educational Needs.
You would be part of a popular and highly achieving school, offering a rich and creative curriculum. Ofsted said, "There is a real 'buzz' of purposeful learning at Thaxted Primary. In every class visited, pupils were not only engaged in their learning, but also enjoying it".
