About the Role

I am actively looking to recruit an experienced teaching assistant to work on a 1:1 basis with children that have additional needs.

Requirements

I am looking for experienced teaching assistants to work in early years, key stage one and two.

Previous experience of working with children is essential, preferably with those who have special educational needs relating to speech and language communication needs or experience in Early Years or key stage 1 and 2 provisions.

The schools will be in Portsmouth.

  • Be aware of the needs of pupils with speech and language communication needs.
  • Maintain a high level of support for the child's needs.
  • Be willing to learn how to adapt and modify learning materials.
  • Have experience of alternative methods of communication; i.e. Makaton or PECS.
  • Provide a high level of support to enable the child to have access to the planned Early Years curriculum.
  • Help the child to develop social skills and appropriate interactions with his peers.
  • Work closely with and be accountable to the class teacher, who will give guidance on the nature and extent of the support and supervision.
  • Support the child at lunchtime and break times as directed on the timetable.
  • Develop a good relationship with the other children in the class by encouraging and motivating.
  • Follow all school policies and treat all school matters as confidential.
  • Plan and review regularly with the class teacher.

  • Liaise with a range of professionals external to the school.
  • Attend appropriate Inset.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
