What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to support teaching and learning at Huntington School. This role involves providing support to students aged 11-18 in the classroom.
Experience of supporting students in an educational or youth setting in English/Literacy or Numeracy would be an advantage.
You will need the ability to motivate and encourage students to develop and achieve in the school environment.
You will need to be responsive to the individual needs of our students and promote the inclusion of all students in the school.
You must have excellent communication skills, ICT capability and be able to work on their own initiative and also work well in a team
This role requires a confident and resilient person who can deal with students effectively in situations that may require the use of diplomacy and tact; flexibility is also vital in order to meet the demands of a busy school.

In Oct 2017, Ofsted rated the school outstanding in all areas. That judgment is a reflection of a lot of hard work, but only forms part of what makes Huntington so special. As a school, we by no means rest on our laurels, but continually strive to be better.
