The primary role of the Additional Support Teaching Assistant is to follow learning targets and/or an Individual Education Plan set by Teachers and the Additional Support Coordinator. This role commonly involves supporting a student one-to-one in the main classroom as well as supporting classwork in the learning support room.

Key Tasks and Duties:

To assist in the educational and social development of students under the direction and guidance of the School Leadership Team, ASC and class teachers
To assist in the implementation of the Individual Education Programme for the individual student and help monitor their progress
To provide support for the individual student inside and outside the classroom to enable them to fully participate in activities
To liaise with other professionals, such as speech therapists and occupational therapists, as necessary
To assist the ASC with maintaining student records
To support the student with potential emotional or behavioural problems and help develop their social skills
To build a professional working relationship with the student where you can effectively support them in their development and help them advocate for their needs independently
