Everyone who works at Hillside Avenue Primary and Nursery School understands the importance of meeting individual needs. For someone working as a 1:1 SEND classroom assistant with a specific pupil this means that they understand what each child needs to be able to flourish in their primary education, and then they do what is required to help the child make progress. Whilst this can sometimes be challenging, it is also rewarding and because we work in education, we are always seeking to learn and improve our practice. If this sounds like the sort of place that you would like to work, please read on.
