Your role:
As a Teaching Assistant, you will work with students in the classroom and with small groups, supporting them to access learning activities to meet their needs.

At Queen Katharine Academy, you will be given effective support to develop as an outstanding Teaching Assistant.
Why work for us?:

- Progression opportunities across the Trust
