Whether you are helping with classroom activities, offering one-on-one support, or promoting a positive learning environment, you will play a vital role in supporting the development and well-being of students.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in support work, care, or sports coaching, looking to transition into a classroom setting or broaden their professional experience.

  • Monitor and report on student progress and development.
  • Build strong relationships with students, staff, and parents to create a supportive educational environment.

Essential Skills & Experience:

  • Previous experience in support work, care, or sports coaching.
  • A genuine passion for working with children and supporting their education and development.
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Patience, empathy, and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Experience in sports coaching is a plus, particularly for roles involving physical education or extracurricular activities.
  • Previous classroom or educational support experience is an advantage, but not essential.

Desirable Skills & Experience:

  • Experience working in an SEN (Special Educational Needs) environment.
  • Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification (or equivalent).
  • First Aid certification.
  • Experience working with children with additional learning needs (SEND).
  • DBS Check (if not already registered on the Update Service).

  • Opportunity to work in a variety of schools and educational settings in the Wimborne area.
  • Competitive pay rates.
  • Supportive and inclusive team environment.
  • Chance to make a meaningful impact on students' education and development.
