From leading learning in the classroom and supporting pupil progress to promoting positive relationships and independence during lunchtime, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.

We are looking for someone who:
  • Holds HLTA status.
  • Has experience of supporting teaching and learning across the primary age range.
  • Can confidently lead learning with individuals, small groups and whole classes.
  • Has high expectations for all pupils and a commitment to inclusion.
  • Is able to build positive relationships with children, families and colleagues.
  • Demonstrates excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.
  • Is flexible, proactive and able to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Has a passion for helping children achieve their full potential.
We can offer:
  • Wonderful children who are enthusiastic, respectful and eager to learn.
  • A welcoming, supportive and dedicated staff team.
  • The opportunity to gain experience across both mainstream and specialist provision.
  • Ongoing professional development and opportunities for career progression.
  • A positive school culture where wellbeing, teamwork and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do.
  • The chance to contribute to innovative and inclusive practice within a thriving school.

If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine impact on children's learning, wellbeing and development, we would love to hear from you.
