The Role

We are seeking a kind, patient, and enthusiastic Personal Support Classroom Assistant (PSCA) to work on a 1:1 basis with a child who has cerebral palsy in our Junior School in Year 1.

  • Provide physical assistance to the child throughout the school day, ensuring their safety and comfort in various settings (classroom, playground, etc.).
  • Assist the child with mobility and personal care needs as required, promoting independence wherever possible.
  • Facilitate the child's communication and participation in classroom activities, adapting resources and tasks as necessary.
  • Encourage the child's independence, communication, and social development.
  • Maintain clear and concise records of the child's progress in line with school procedures.
  • Build a strong and trusting relationship with the child, their family, and the wider school team.
  • Uphold the school's policies and procedures for health and safety, safeguarding, and inclusion.


You will have experience working with children with disabilities and a strong understanding of child development and the needs of children with disabilities.

Experience using assistive technology, a basic understanding of Manual Handling techniques and a clear understanding of the PYP philosophy and its learner profile would be desirable.

Interviews will be held during the week beginning Monday 10 June 2024
