  • Contributing to the assessment of pupil progress and feeding back to teachers.
  • Supporting the development of pupils' confidence, independence, and social skills.
  • Assisting with the planning, preparation, and delivery of engaging lessons and enrichment activities.
  • Acting as a role model for pupils and supporting the school's values and behaviour policy.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Passionate about making a difference in children's education.
  • Experienced in delivering high-quality learning support and interventions.
  • Able to work independently and take initiative within the classroom.
  • Confident in managing a whole class when required.
  • Organised, flexible, and an excellent communicator.

Essential:

  • Demonstrable experience working in a primary school setting.
  • Good literacy and numeracy skills (GCSE or equivalent).

Desirable:

  • A recognised Teaching Assistant qualification (e.g. Level 2 or Level 3 or Level 4)
  • Experience supporting pupils with SEND or delivering specific intervention programmes.
  • A sound understanding of the national curriculum and primary pedagogy.

What We Offer

  • A supportive, welcoming, and forward-thinking staff team.
  • Opportunities for ongoing professional development.
  • A school that values initiative, creativity, and professional growth.
  • The chance to have a real and lasting impact on children's lives.
