One to One Teaching Assistant Non-Verbal

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.
