Vision Teaching are currently recruiting on behalf of a two-form entry Primary School in Swanley looking for a 1:1 learning support assistant. This is a long-term role for the academic year, starting in September. You must have the skills needed to engage individuals and groups of children in effective learning; you should have an interest in developing children’s social skills, showing sensitivity to their individual needs. You should be a highly efficient, flexible and reliable person, able to forge positive relationships with children. Knowledge of Makaton or willingness to learn it is desirable. You will need to be energetic, supportive and a positive team player, with a sense of humour and excellent communication skills

You will be working with our SENCO and Class Teacher to create a safe and consistent learning environment for the child concerned. The role will require a high degree of emotional literacy and commitment, but has the potential to be hugely rewarding as your work will make a tangible difference to a child’s life chances

Necessary Experience:

• Good standard of education with strong Literacy and Numeracy skills (GCSE English and Maths essential)
• Strong ICT skills
• The ability to take responsibility for small intervention groups and, on occasion, whole classes for short periods of time is required.
• Evidence of excellent communication and interpersonal skills

The school has experienced and enthusiastic staff who work hard to give the children the best possible education they can. If you would like to be part of a forward thinking team then please apply today!
