Teaching Assistant

The school would like to appoint a dedicated and patient Teaching Assistant to join our hard-working team to work with children supporting in class and with interventions. With a keen interest in nurturing independent learners, the successful candidate will enable our children to access all elements of the curriculum, through the delivery of high-quality interventions under the direction of a class teacher and through actively engaging students in their learning so that they achieve positive outcomes. The ability to establish high expectations of work and behaviour is vital, as is the ability to provide objective and accurate feedback to the class teacher.
