To be able to achieve this, we need to have a team of dedicated and outstanding staff, who will contribute to our exceptional learning community.

We are seeking to appoint ambitious and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant, who will work with colleagues to support the learning and teaching of children in Waverley Junior Academy.

This role is permanent for 30 hours per week. This includes 2 out of 5 INSET days each academic year as directed, with availability to work any or all of remaining 3 INSET days at short notice should the need arise, and for which additional payment will be made.
