The Role
We are seeking a Primary Teaching Assistant in Barrow-in-Furness to provide 1:1 support to pupils in Year 2 and Year 4 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

You will be supporting pupils both within the classroom and through focused intervention sessions, helping them to access the curriculum, build confidence, and develop key learning and social skills.

As a Primary Teaching Assistant in Barrow-in-Furness, you will become part of a friendly and dedicated team who are passionate about creating a positive learning environment for every child. The school promotes a culture of respect, teamwork and continual improvement, offering a supportive and rewarding place to work.
