**About the role**

As a Teaching assistant you play a crucial role in supporting Teachers and students throughout the busy school day. You will be the first point of contact for any additional support a student may require on a 1-1 basis and some days you will also be required to provide general cover supporting the entire class so adaptability is essential for this role. Working with a mixture of mainstream and SEN students you will need to think on your feet and be ready to get stuck in from day one as no two days will ever be the same!
