We are seeking to appoint a part time Teaching Assistant from January 2024 to work initially in our Reception Class. The ideal candidate will be energetic and committed to enriching the development of our youngest children, with high expectations of pupils and the ability to support and motivate children with a range of needs.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people who would be able to support with wraparound care or curricular enrichment activities.

Enhanced DBS checks and references will be required in line with our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
