Patrick Alexander Knox

I am a motivated and reliable individual seeking a Teaching Assistant role within a primary or secondary school setting. While I do not have direct classroom experience, I have developed strong transferable skills through working with a surf and skateboard instructing company, supporting children and adults, including those with additional needs.

This role required patience, adaptability, and clear communication to ensure sessions were inclusive, engaging, and safe. I am confident supporting learners of different ages and abilities, promoting positive behaviour, and building respectful, trusting relationships.

I understand the importance of safeguarding, maintaining professional boundaries, and contributing to a safe, supportive learning environment. I work well as part of a team, collaborating effectively with colleagues to ensure students receive consistent and high-quality support. I am eager to bring my energy, commitment, and care into the classroom to help pupils thrive both academically and personally.
