Are you ready to step into the challenging but rewarding world of being a Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD? We are looking for an enthusiastic Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD to support a delightful boy with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who has a penchant for impulsivity and a fondness for bouncing off his seat at any given opportunity.

This Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD role is ideal for recent graduates considering a career in teaching, psychology, or child development. You will need to be someone who can set clear boundaries while maintaining a good sense of humour -- because, let's face it, you will need it.

About the School

This vibrant primary school in the EN5 postcode area of Barnet offers a nurturing environment where staff and pupils are encouraged to thrive. While the school name must remain a mystery (think of it as the Hogwarts of Barnet), we can tell you it is a forward-thinking establishment that values inclusivity and support for all pupils.

School Snapshot:

Ofsted Rating:

Good - because nobody wants to work somewhere "Requires Improvement".

Facilities:

Spacious outdoor play areas, well-resourced classrooms, and sensory-friendly spaces -- the only thing missing is a personal barista (but we can dream).

Ethos:

Promoting respect, resilience, and a can-do attitude, with a pinch of humour for good measure.

Size:

Two-form entry primary, big enough to find your tribe but small enough not to feel like you work in a shopping centre.
Why Join as a Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD?

You will be the anchor for a young boy navigating the choppy waters of Year 3 ADHD -- think Captain Jack Sparrow minus the eyeliner. Opportunities to develop your skills in behaviour management and special educational needs support. Work alongside a passionate team committed to making learning accessible for all children. Gain invaluable classroom experience if you are considering a future in teaching or a related field.
What You'll Do as a Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD:

Support a boy with ADHD who needs help to stay focused and on-task. Implement clear boundaries with a patient yet firm approach. Collaborate with teachers and teaching assistants to create engaging learning opportunities. Contribute to a positive learning environment through creative strategies and a sense of humour that can withstand the odd flying pencil.
What We're Looking For:

A proactive Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD who is unflappable, compassionate, and not afraid to redirect a child determined to climb under tables. Experience with or interest in special educational needs is highly desirable. Strong communication skills to build rapport with pupils, staff, and parents. A commitment to making a difference in a child's educational journey.
This is not a permanent role (because life is full of surprises), but it is a fantastic opportunity to build experience, hone your skills, and make a real impact. If you think you have what it takes to be a Year 3 Teaching Assistant ADHD superhero, we would love to hear from you.
