Nurture Teaching Assistant / ELSA - Term Time

You will be working in partnership with a pastoral learning mentor to meet the needs of our vulnerable children to assist in the support and inclusion of pupils with autism/SEMH and a wide range of SEND within the school. The ages of the pupils involved will be from 4 to 11 range. You will need to support the development of pupils' emotional literacy and social skills through specific and targeted intervention. You will support pupils' academic and social communication needs (linked to diagnosis) and to support positive social and emotional well-being, enabling them to engage in learning in and out of the school environment.
You will be working under the direction/instruction of the Assistant Head Teacher responsible for Behaviour and Inclusion. The Assistant Head Teacher will take overall responsibility for the progress of pupils within the setting but you will be required to carry out 'specified work' under their direction, which may take place in the nurture space, classroom with small groups and/or delivering 1:1 learning.

This role requires the ability to fulfil all aspects of the curriculum with confidence and fluency in English, in order to support our young people at Luton Primary to interact effectively in the world around them, express themselves and communicate confidently. This support will allow pupils to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in the primary curriculum.
