Wokingham, Wokingham, United Kingdom Wokingham Borough Council Full time

Job advert- We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate and talented practitioner to work within our Inclusion Department as an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA).

You will join our great staff team at Gorse Ride Schools working across all year groups from EYFS to Year 6.

This is a key post in our school which is centred around supporting children to understand and regulate their own emotions whilst also respecting the feelings of those around them.


  • In the role of ELSA you would help children to develop the social and emotional skills they need to flourish in school, working in small groups or 1:1 situations. Our ELSA is also required to work with colleagues in school, parents, outside agencies and may also be called upon at short notice to support specific children if other members of staff are not available.
  • It is imperative that you possess excellent interpersonal skills, as they will be instrumental in establishing meaningful connections and rapport with both children and their families. A background in nurturing and fostering an inclusive environment is also deemed essential, as it will greatly contribute to the overall success of the role. The ELSA post is challenging but very rewarding and we are fortunate enough to be able to provide a dedicated room and a fantastic sensory room both of which provide an ideal working space.
  • We are looking for an ELSA who:
  • Is highly committed, enthusiastic, flexible and skilled and who is passionate about supporting children's learning.
  • Has high expectations of children and themselves; is able to show initiative and work independently and as part of a team and who would embrace our school's Values for Life and Learning.
  • Has excellent interpersonal skills and can communicate well with children and adults and who is able to gain the confidence of children.
  • Has a warm personality and is able to stay calm under pressure.
  • Is able to plan programmes of support and maintain succinct records of involvement.
  • Is emotionally literate themselves, with a high degree of empathy and discretion as well as being supportive and nurturing.
