SEND Teaching Assistant
The children, staff, and Governing Body at Holmgate Primary School and Nursery are seeking a SEND Teaching Assistant to join our dedicated school team. This is an excellent opportunity for a caring, patient and committed individual to support a child in our Nursery with autism and significant communication needs.
This is a highly rewarding 1:1 role supporting a Nursery-aged child with autism and significant communication needs. The child is currently pre-verbal and requires support with intimate/personal care. We are seeking a calm and nurturing practitioner who can develop a strong understanding of the child's individual communication, sensory and learning needs. The successful candidate will promote inclusion and independence and, subject to ongoing need, funding and staffing arrangements, there is an intention for the role to provide continuity of support as the child progresses through school.
