* Have previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant or supporting children in a primary school
* Ideally have experience within Reception, EYFS or Early Years
* Be confident providing general classroom support
* Have some experience or understanding of supporting children with SEN
* Be nurturing, patient and enthusiastic
* Be comfortable supporting children individually and in small groups
* Work effectively alongside the class teacher and wider school team
