Your Role

This role is a unique opportunity for a passionate Teaching Assistant with an interest in supporting children with speech and language needs.

We are seeking a dedicated Teaching Assistant with experience in Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) to support students with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN). The role involves working closely with teachers and speech and language therapists to implement targeted support strategies, assist in the classroom, and deliver one-on-one or small group interventions.

There is an emphasis on being able to work effectively and closely with parents, outside agencies and liaising with class teachers, SENCO and support staff.

This opportunity is a very exciting one - and we are looking for the right person who will take the overall lead for Speech and Language - and grow with us on this adventure, with plenty of opportunities to progress even further.

At Wonder Star School, we believe that every child can overcome barriers and achieve their potential. We focus upon developing the whole child, in a safe and stimulating environment.

With a focus on basic skills and personalised learning, amid an engaging active and progressive curriculum we focus on fostering a lifelong love of learning. We aim for children to leave us with the skills and attitude ready for their next stage of education.
