We are looking for people to be a flexible part of our Team with ad hoc work as a Bank Teaching Assistant
About this Role
We know that there are points in people’s lives where they are not able to commit to a full time position but are hoping to gain experience whilst doing something rewarding. Being part of a school community is great stepping stone especially if you are looking to gain hands-on experience before training to teach, or you're considering pathways such as becoming an Educational Psychologist or Speech Therapist.
As our school continues to flourish and grow, we’re seeking enthusiastic and dedicated TAs without the commitment of full time working to join our team. Having recently undergone an exciting transformation, we’re proud of our achievements and believe West Hill is a truly special place to learn and work.
Here’s what makes this role exceptional:
- Amazing children who are eager to learn and grow.
- A friendly and supportive community of staff, parents, and governors.
- A strong focus on staff well-being and personal development.
- Opportunities to work alongside a range of professionals, gaining invaluable experience and skills to enhance your career.
