We are looking for Teaching Assistants, who can work with individual and small groups of children, prepare classrooms and materials, and build positive relationships with children and young people to promote interaction and learning.

Ultimately, all of our roles give you the opportunity to enrich the lives of young people and make a positive difference and we are looking for individuals with the right motivation, personal qualities and good levels of resilience.
