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.
