Job Vacancy: One-to-One Teaching Assistant - Reception (Non-Verbal Pupil)
Location: Lancaster Contract: Full-Time, Long Term - Ongoing Start Date: September 2025
Are you someone who can spot the magic in a moment and speak volumes with a smile? We're on the lookout for a caring, patient, and quietly brilliant Teaching Assistant to provide one-to-one support for a non-verbal Reception pupil starting this September in a welcoming primary school in Lancaster.
This isn't just about helping a child learn - it's helping them be heard.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Supporting a non-verbal Reception pupil during the school day.
- Helping them access learning through tailored communication strategies.
- Encouraging social development, independence, and all the tiny wins in between.
- Collaborating with teachers, speech and language therapists, and support staff.
- Keeping track of progress and sharing updates with the team and family.
Who We're Looking For:
- Someone with experience supporting young children, ideally those with communication difficulties.
- A calm, patient, and empathetic soul who understands that words aren't the only way we speak.
- Familiarity with alternative communication methods (Makaton or BSL) is a big plus.
- A flexible team player with a can-do attitude and a big heart.
- Qualifications in SEND or communication support? Great! But personality and passion go a long way, too.
Why This Role?
Because you'll be making a real difference. Every day. You'll help give a child the tools to connect with the world - and that's special.
