We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Teaching Assistant to join our team to support our children with their learning and behaviour under the direction of the Nurture Class Teacher and Nurture Lead. Initially, this post will be until August 2026 but would hopefully continue pending funding.
The Nurture Nest at Edith Weston Academy is a special provision, funded by Rutland County Council, that provides a full-time alternative provision for children across the county. They will join the Nest for a year before transitioning back to their home school once the intervention is complete.
We are looking for someone who can:
* Effectively support children's learning and progress and uphold our school values and expectations.
* Understand the role of nurture and effective behaviour management in supporting children with challenging social, emotional and behavioural needs.
* Work on their own initiative, following the direction and planning of the class teacher.
* Act calmly and professionally in all situations.
* Build positive relationships with children and colleagues to support the children effectively.
