Wigginton Primary School are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic level 2 teaching assistant to work in one of our EYFS classes supporting a child with complex needs.  This will involve moving and handling and intimate care.  The successful candidate will join a strong team of teaching assistants that support individuals and groups of students with learning and/or emotional and social needs. Previous experience of working with SEN children 1:1 is desirable and it is vital that candidates have a commitment to a child-centred approach, a willingness to learn and develop, along with enthusiasm and a good sense of humour! 

In return, we will offer:

• a supporting and caring environment
• continuing professional development
• pupils with a positive attitude to learning
• friendly and supportive colleagues

The hours are: Monday – Friday 8.45am – 3.15pm.

We would consider this as a job share role with the following hours:

Monday – Friday 8.45am – 12.30pm

Monday – Friday 12.30pm – 3.15pm

This is initially a fixed term post, supporting a named child but may involve working with small groups of children under the guidance of class teacher/SENCO.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  We require the successful applicant to undertake an enhanced Criminal Record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.
