About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and resilient Primary Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a KS1 pupil with an EHCP for ADHD and Autism. The pupil requires consistent, structured support to access learning and regulate emotions within the school environment.

This role is non-negotiable for candidates with proven experience supporting pupils who present challenging and physically demanding behaviours. When dysregulated or overstimulated, the pupil may display physically challenging behaviours, and the successful candidate must be confident, calm, and skilled in responding safely and appropriately.

Key Responsibilities

Implement behaviour regulation and de-escalation strategies to support emotional regulation.

Support the pupil in accessing the KS1 curriculum, adapting tasks to meet individual needs.

Recognise early signs of dysregulation and apply appropriate interventions.

Maintain the safety of the pupil and others at all times, following behaviour and safeguarding policies.

Work closely with the class teacher, SENCO, and external professionals.

Accurately record behaviour incidents, progress, and interventions.

Provide support during transitions, unstructured times, and sensory-challenging situations.

Essential (Non-Negotiable) Requirements

Proven experience working with pupils with ADHD and Autism.

Extensive experience managing challenging and physically demanding behaviours in a school or SEND setting.

Confidence in using positive behaviour support, de-escalation, and regulation strategies.

A calm, patient, and resilient approach, even in high-pressure situations.

Strong understanding of safeguarding and behaviour management policies.

Desirable (but not essential)

Training in Team Teach, MAPA, or other behaviour management approaches.

Experience working with pupils with EHCPs in KS1.

Relevant Teaching Assistant or SEND qualifications.

We Offer

A supportive school environment with clear behaviour systems in place.

Ongoing guidance from SEN leadership and external professionals.

A rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a child’s educational journey.
