Eastcombe Primary School is looking to appoint a caring, kind and experienced 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a KS1 child with an EHCP. You will need to have an understanding of the details within the EHCP and be able to work closely with school staff to ensure the best possible outcomes. You will also need to be able to work independently to prepare learning resources and materials for lessons that enable our pupil to access the curriculum.

The successful applicant must:
- have a variety of communication skills to respond to the needs of the child
- have empathy and understanding of the child’s individual learning abilities and SEND needs
- have a passion for developing a love of learning in children
- have high expectations of pupil achievements and behaviour and be committed to raising standards under the direction of the class teacher
- be a positive individual with initiative, drive, integrity and a cheerful disposition
- demonstrate our school values and motto

We can offer you
- a small village school with friendly staff, parents and children
- children who are well behaved and love learning
- a supportive team
- the opportunity to develop your skills further

This is a fixed term appointment and will continue pending a review of the EHC Plan or if the pupil leaves the school.

Please telephone or email the school office for a job description and person specification. Application forms may be downloaded from the Gloucestershire County Council website.
Visits to the school are strongly encouraged.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff, and volunteers, to share the same commitment. This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
