We are seeking to appoint a flexible, skilled and compassionate Higher Level Teaching Assistant to work with children across our school. Candidates will ideally have a track record of working positively with children and forming good relationships with teachers.

The post holder will support children’s learning in class lessons, work with selected groups, support individuals with specific support plans and further the positive school experience of the pupils.

We are a happy school with a positive ethos, where the pupils care for each other and enjoy learning and the staff enjoy being part of a supportive and friendly team.
