Teaching Assistant – Caterham

and and the person who notices when a pupil needs a little extra support.

We’re looking for a caring and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming school in Caterham. You’ll be supporting pupils in the classroom, helping them build confidence and making sure every child feels included, encouraged and ready to learn.

No two days will be exactly the same, but one thing is certain, your support will make a real difference.

What you’ll be doing

• Supporting pupils with their learning in the classroom
• Working one-to-one and with small groups
• Helping pupils stay focused, engaged and confident
• Supporting the class teacher with activities and lesson preparation
• Encouraging positive behaviour and building strong relationships
• Adapting support to meet individual learning needs
• Creating a calm, inclusive and positive learning environment

We’d love to hear from you if you have

• Previous experience working with children or young people
• A patient, caring and positive approach
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• The confidence to support pupils with different learning needs
• A genuine passion for helping children grow and succeed

Experience supporting pupils with SEND would be an advantage, but the right attitude, empathy and willingness to learn are just as important.
