1:1 Teaching Assistant

Join us as a 1:1 Teaching Assistant

Are you someone who finds joy in helping children feel understood, valued, and confident? Thrive Education is looking for a caring and enthusiastic 1:1 Teaching Assistant to support a wonderful Reception-aged child in a friendly, nurturing primary school based in Chipping Campden.

This role begins mornings only, with the opportunity to increase hours as the child settles and as the right person becomes part of their support journey.

About the Role

You’ll be working closely with a child who is non-verbal and thrives with gentle, patient support to help them feel secure and included. With an EHCP already in place, you’ll have clear guidance to help you make a real difference in their early learning experience. Communication and Interaction are the main needs of the child so your presence will help them grow, explore, and build confidence day by day.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Offering warm, consistent 1:1 support to help the child access their learning
• Using communication focused strategies to help them express themselves in ways that work for them
• Working alongside the class teacher and SENCO to follow the child’s EHCP
• Creating a calm, reassuring environment built on trust
• Using visuals, play, and alternative communication to help the child interact and engage
• Encouraging social, emotional, and early learning development at a pace that feels right for them

Who We’re Looking For

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

• Naturally warm, patient, and nurturing
• Passionate about supporting children with communication and interaction needs
• Experienced in early years or SEND (desirable, but a positive attitude goes a long way)
• Happy to work as part of a supportive, friendly team
• Reliable, kind-hearted, and ready to make a meaningful impact

Why Join Thrive Education?

• A welcoming, supportive team who truly value you
• PAYE payroll - no hidden fees or deductions
• Training and development to help you grow in your role
• The chance to make a genuine difference in a child’s first steps through school

If you’re looking for a role where every day brings small but meaningful moments and where your support can help a child shine, then we would love to hear from you!
