Job details
We are looking for a patient, resilient, and compassionate teaching assistant to make a genuine difference in the lives of children in a new Hub called the Herefordshire LINC which will be based at St Martin’s Primary. You will help to provide a safe, calm, and supportive environment for up to a maximum of 10 pupils in KS2, who struggle to engage with mainstream education due to complex social, emotional, and mental health needs.
About the Role
You will be working alongside a class teacher in a specially designed learning area to support 1:1 or small groups of learners, providing tailored support to help them manage their emotions, develop coping strategies, and re-engage with learning. This role is not about traditional teaching; it is about building trust, promoting positive behaviour, and delivering bespoke interventions.
We need positive, well-motivated, dedicated team players, with a good sense of humour and a cheerful disposition who are able to support children with a wide range of needs.
In return we can offer you:
• a school that encourages professional development,
• a team of well-motivated, highly committed people, who strive to get the best from every child.
We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age. All appointments to school are subject to satisfactory references and clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service at Enhanced Level.
