About the role
Are you passionate about inclusion and early intervention? Do you want to make a meaningful difference for young children with complex special educational needs?
Longmeadow Primary is seeking to appoint a committed and nurturing Teaching Assistant to work within our Internal Alternative Provision (IAP). This provision supports children from year 2 - year 6 who present with complex special educational needs and who require a highly personalised, therapeutic approach to learning.
The Internal Alternative Provision (Pioneers) is an integral part of Longmeadow's inclusive offer and provides a small, structured and supportive environment where children can engage, regulate and succeed.
The role will involve a combination of small-group and 1:1 support, helping children to access learning, develop communication and self-regulation skills, and build positive relationships. Our provision is led by an experienced teacher who will plan and lead the provision at all times.
The role is full time with hours from 8:30 - 3:15 daily. Longmeadow closes at 2:15pm on a Friday to allow for CPD time for all involved staff.
Inclusion is of the highest importance at Longmeadow, and Pioneers plays a key role in ensuring that all children feel safe, valued and able to thrive.
This role would be ideal for:
Teaching Assistants with a strong interest in SEND, early years and inclusion
Experienced support staff confident in working with children with complex needs
Practitioners who value consistency, empathy and relational approaches
Individuals aspiring to develop specialist skills within SEND, SEMH or alternative provision
