We are looking for Teaching Assistants to support pupils in class, deliver small group interventions and deliver 1:1 support for pupils with special educational needs. The right candidate needs to be flexible, enthusiastic, highly motivated and have the ability to work as part of the whole school team.

As with all positions in our school, the successful applicant should ultimately be prepared to work in any year group across the school, which may require flexibility in hours, although individual strengths will always be taken into account.

Do you have a heart to change children’s lives by inspiring them to reach and exceed their social and academic potential?

Do you have a passion for challenge – to continually improve yourself to become the very best that you can be?

Do you believe in a Values based Education, which challenges children to be reflective, responsible and upstanding citizens in today’s society?

YES?

You could be who we are looking for.

Values Based Education runs through every fibre of our school and shapes the way we teach, learn and treat one other. We work hard, but we have lots of fun too.
