Your new company
Hays Recruitment are proud to be supporting a Runcorn-based single-form entry primary school as they are looking to appoint a motivated and reliable teaching assistant to support a male pupil within the year 1 class for the remainder of the academic year. This is a full-time temporary contract starting 22/04/2025.

Your new role
As a teaching assistant within this school, you will be supporting a male pupil within the year 1 class on a 1:1 basis. You will work alongside the class teacher to promote a stimulating, engaging and inclusive working environment for your pupil by adapting learning materials to best suit their needs. The pupil you will be supporting has ADHD, struggles with engagement and can be extremely disruptive within the classroom. You will work with them and promote their learning and engagement by implementing a myriad of positive behaviour strategies including DOJO/reward charts, brain breaks, now & next and positive reinforcement.

Experience implementing positive behaviour strategies
