Whether working with individuals, small groups or whole classes, you will be passionate about helping children overcome barriers to learning, develop resilience and celebrate success.

This role also includes supporting the delivery of PE across our younger year groups, helping children develop positive attitudes towards physical activity, teamwork and wellbeing through enjoyable and inclusive lessons.
