We are looking to recruit a teaching assistant initially to work with Key Stage 2. The role will include teaching targetted groups of children, supporting the class teacher with day to day learning and working proactively as part of a team to ensure that each child meets their potential. We are looking for high calibre people with excellent English and maths skills who will be able to lead children’s learning confidently.

Prior experience as a teaching assistant is desirable, but not essential for a person who is keen to learn with a positive attitude.

The successful applicant must: 

• Have good mathematics and English skills (Grade C or higher at GCSE or equivalent).
• Have good behaviour management skills through previous experience with children in a setting other than their own home
• Be able to communicate well with children, parents and colleagues.
• Be willing to learn and develop skills to support children’s learning.

We are committed to achieving equal opportunities in employment and service delivery.
