There is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified person to join this high achieving selective school for boys as a Teaching Assistant.

The post is required June 2022 for 35 hours per week on a term time only basis and the salary will be £15,512.39 (pro rata to £19,612 for a full time appointment on HGS4).

As a Teaching Assistant, you will be supporting our pupils, with SEND, both inside and outside of the classroom, to support their progress.
