When not required for cover, you will support wider school activities, including administrative tasks, student supervision and enrichment initiatives.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with young people, has excellent interpersonal skills and can think on their feet. You will be a positive and enthusiastic role model, who shares our ethos of supporting all students to receive the highest quality, inclusive teaching. Suitable applicants will be confident, resilient and patient when dealing with our student population. You will need to be able to demonstrate resourcefulness whilst also adhering to safeguarding protocols and practices.
