Crow Lane is a happy place where children and staff work hard, try their best and enjoy learning. We strive to provide all of our pupils with the skills, knowledge and mindset that will see them always do their best, embrace challenges and recognise that if they aim high anything is possible.

We are looking for two skilled Teaching Assistants to actively encourage and support learning for pupils with SEND in our Reception/Year 2 and our Year 1 classes. We always want the very best possible start to school for our pupils, especially those with additional needs, and we’re looking for people with patience, understanding and resilience who want, and can provide, the same.

The successful candidate must have an understanding and firm approach to working with children and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Experience of working with infant pupils with SEND is essential, as is working in a school environment. It is important that they have the ability to work as part of a team and build positive relationships with the children, colleagues and parents.

This job is subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level, please refer to the Job Description/Profile. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
