• Using ICT to enhance both professional practice and pupils’ learning.
• Contributing to record‑keeping and communicating with parents/carers as appropriate.
• Providing day‑to‑day guidance for classroom support staff where relevant.
• Upholding the school’s safeguarding responsibilities and maintaining confidentiality at all times.

• Builds excellent working relationships with pupils and adults.
• Remains calm, positive and solution‑focused under pressure.
• Is committed to safeguarding, equality of opportunity, and the values of the Trust.

What can we offer in return:

Greensand Multi‑Academy Trust is a collaborative, supportive community where staff wellbeing, professional development and shared values are central to our work. You will be part of a team that is forward‑thinking, nurturing and ambitious for every child. In addition, we can offer you:

• Opportunities for professional growth both within the school and the wider Greensand Multi Academy Trust.
• An excellent staff assistance scheme with access to a range of wellbeing and health initiatives, including complimentary counselling, physiotherapy and a 24-hour online GP service.
• Access to a cycle to work scheme and free Will writing service.
