The school
Dobcroft Nursery Infant School is a friendly, welcoming, and creative school with an inclusive ethos. We have a 26 place pre-school and three form entry (90 children in each year) foundation stage two and KS1. The school is in south west Sheffield, in the Millhouses region. We are proud of our children who are enthusiastic, kind and happy.
The role
Dobcroft Nursery Infants have an exciting opportunity for a talented and caring candidate to join our team as a level 2 teaching assistant.
