Beyond the classroom, you will supervise pupils during breaks, lunchtimes, and extra-curricular activities, and accompany children on school trips.

You will possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to connect with children and colleagues alike. You will be empathetic and supportive, demonstrating active listening skills and a genuine interest in the well-being and development of children. Strong organisational skills and the ability to work flexibly within a team are essential.

Experience in an educational setting is highly desirable, along with a proactive approach to engaging with various tasks and responsibilities. A good standard of education, particularly in English and Mathematics, and knowledge of safeguarding practices are also important.
