1:1 Teaching Assistant - Slough - Immediate Start
Are you passionate about education and eager to make a meaningful difference in the life of a young learner?
A welcoming and inclusive school in Slough is seeking a 1:1 Teaching Assistant to join their team as soon as possible.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate who is considering a future career in teaching, psychology, educational support, or social work and wants to gain hands-on classroom experience.
As a 1:1 Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with an individual pupil (or occasionally a small group), providing personalised support to help them overcome academic, social, or emotional barriers to learning.
Key Responsibilities:
* Tailored Support: Provide one-to-one assistance based on the student's individual learning needs - whether academic, emotional, or behavioural.
* Facilitate Learning: Support lessons by adapting activities and materials, ensuring the pupil remains engaged and able to access the curriculum.
* Track Progress: Monitor and record the pupil's academic and personal development, sharing insights with the class teacher and SENCO.
* Promote Wellbeing: Create a nurturing and supportive environment that helps build confidence, independence, and social skills.
* Collaborate: Work closely with teachers, the SEN team, and parents to implement effective learning strategies and interventions.
What We're Looking For:
* Empathy and Patience: You can remain calm, positive, and supportive-especially in challenging situations.
* Adaptability: You're able to adjust your approach to suit the child's individual learning style and pace.
* Strong Communication: You can engage effectively with students, teachers, and parents to ensure consistent support.
* Graduate Applicants Welcome: This role is ideal for recent graduates seeking practical experience before pursuing a PGCE, teacher training, or careers in psychology or youth work.
Role Details:
* Position: 1:1 Teaching Assistant
* Location: Slough
* Start Date: ASAP
* Salary: £89 - £95 per day
* Hours: Full time, 8:30am - 4:00pm
If you're a motivated graduate ready to inspire and support young learners, we'd love to hear from you.
