What skills and experience we're looking for

About the Role:

You will work across our mixed-age classes, supporting pupils’ learning and wellbeing. Rather than being assigned to a single class, you will work where the need is greatest, which may vary from day to day. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, is calm under pressure, and values being part of a close-knit team where everyone mucks in.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has a flexible and proactive approach to working across different year groups and supporting a range of needs

  • Works well in a team and communicates clearly with both adults and children

  • Has some experience of working with primary-aged children (school-based experience is desirable but not essential)

  • Is reliable, enthusiastic, and ready to get involved in all aspects of school life

In return, we can offer:

  • A warm, supportive staff team and a welcoming village school community

  • A varied role where no two days are the same

  • Opportunities for professional development

  • Beautiful surroundings and a school with a strong ethos and values

  • The chance to make a real difference in a small school where every child is known and valued
