We are currently recruiting for a confident, resilient and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join a primary school in Stonebridge, supporting a Year 6 class.
This is a role for someone who is confident managing challenging behaviour and is able to establish clear boundaries while building positive and respectful relationships with pupils. The class can present behavioural challenges, so the successful candidate will need to be firm, fair and consistent, with the confidence to remain calm and composed in demanding situations.
The ideal candidate will be someone who can act as a positive role model for the children, build trust quickly and encourage pupils to make positive choices and engage with their learning.
The ideal candidate will:
- Have experience working with children, ideally within a primary school setting
- Be confident managing challenging behaviour
- Have a calm, consistent and authoritative approach
- Be firm but fair, with excellent boundary-setting skills
- Be able to build positive rapport and strong relationships with pupils
- Have the resilience and confidence to work within a challenging classroom environment
- Be proactive, enthusiastic and willing to get involved
- Have excellent communication and teamwork skills
- Be committed to supporting pupils both academically and socially
A background in sports coaching would be highly desirable, as the school would particularly welcome someone who is confident, energetic and experienced in motivating and engaging young people.
This could be an excellent opportunity for a sports coach, youth worker, behaviour mentor or experienced Teaching Assistant looking to develop their experience within a primary school environment.
If you are confident, consistent and passionate about helping children succeed and you’re not afraid of a challenge, we would love to hear from you
