  • Knowledge of speech and language
  • Demonstrable knowledge of strategies for spelling, reading and number skills
  • Relevant educational experience supporting a child/children in a primary school setting
  • Experience of working with children who have a wide variety of educational needs
  • Relevant qualifications for the role (TA2 certificate or equivalent, and Maths/English GCSEs grades A-C).


The contract on offer is full time (32.5 hours per week, 08:30 - 15:30 Monday to Friday) and is a fixed term rolling contract. We are looking for the candidate to commence employment on 01/09/2022 for the new academic year. The salary range for the role ranges from scale point 5 - 7 (£15,112.51 - £15,723.16 actual salary, £19,650 - £20,444 full time equivalent).
