This is an amazing career opportunity that will enable you to gain experience in every year group and have the opportunity to learn a transferable skill and qualification in Braille.


No Prior experience in supporting children with visual impairments is necessary. This role would also suit someone who possesses a problem-solving mindset that could be applied to education and has a can do attitude to support.


Starting in either July or September 2024, the successful candidate should be passionate about education, teaching and children’s learning. You will be joining a great school and working alongside our very experienced teaching staff and SENCo.

Founded in 1917, we have been educating, nurturing and challenging children for over 100 years. Children are at the heart of everything we do; our small classes and school environment truly allow us to know our pupils as individuals and to tailor our teaching and curriculum accordingly. We have high expectations for our pupil’s academic progress and personal development and work closely with our parents to ensure that all our pupils get the very most from their time with us.


The School has an enviable academic record and a long tradition of sending pupils to grammar and selective independent schools. But there is a great deal more to Gidea Park than just academic success. We firmly believe that happy children make better progress and to achieve this, children need to be understood, listened to and valued.


This is a great opportunity for a passionate individual to work with a very able child who has a visual impairment. You will be supporting both in class and also closely supervising during break and lunch times, giving auditory communication to the child and ‘be their eyes’ in all environments around the school.

  • and prepare resources to aid the learning, being creative in your approach.
  • closely with class teacher, SENCo and VI specialist teachers.
  • standards within lessons and support pupils of all ability.
  • a shared responsibility for health and safety.
  • challenges that the child may encounter and show enthusiasm to help the child overcome them.


In return we will offer you a friendly, welcoming place of work, a great team of staff and pupils who are well behaved and engaging. You will also learn from a team of highly qualified teachers developing skills that can be used in future roles.
