Learning Assistant job summary
We are seeking two dedicated and experienced Learning Assistants to join our team – one to support Early Years and one to support Year 4.
The ideal EYFS candidate will have a strong background in early years education and be confident in leading the class in the teacher’s absence. This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about early childhood development and committed to making a positive impact.
The Year 4 role involves working closely with pupils to support their learning, including targeted support for children with SEND. The successful candidate will also assist with preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check, so confidence in the Year 4 curriculum, particularly in mathematics, is essential. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about inclusive education and supporting all learners to achieve their potential.
