What does an Apprentice Teaching Assistant do?

In a nutshell:

This is a hugely varied role, one minute you will be helping the child to whom you give dedicated support assistance to understand their lesson, the next you might be helping them travel between classrooms.

You will spend your day with your appointed child, get to know them and help and watch them grow and develop. It’s an amazing job and one that’s critical to helping that child. You’ll feedback how the child develops and progresses and work with class teachers on areas of need.

Our children are amazing and we intend to help them to continue to be amazing, regardless of what life throws at them. This is a key role in enabling that to happen.

- Are able to demonstrate creativity, resilience and interpersonal skills to complement our highly effective team;

- Can be an effective team player and willing to be fully involved in the life of the school;

This post is an excellent opportunity for someone with a passion for nurturing and supporting pupils with SEND to carve out a career with our Trust.

- Be part of a dedicated team committed to achieving high standards;

- A supportive, warm and welcoming ethos;

- A vibrant learning environment - for you and our children;

- An experienced and supportive leadership team, who are committed to the well-being of all staff;
