About this Role

This role is ideal for someone with strong classroom experience, a proactive approach, and a genuine passion for helping pupils reach their full potential. Working closely with class teachers to plan and deliver tailored support for individuals and small groups, you will be helping to reinforce learning, manage behaviour, and promote pupil engagement. With your advanced skills and knowledge, you will take responsibility for leading specific interventions, supporting pupils with additional needs, and contributing to assessment and progress tracking.

Your ability to build on positive relationships with pupils, staff, and families will be essential in creating a nurturing and inclusive school community.

This is a rewarding and varied role that offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on pupils’ academic and personal development, while continuing to grow professionally within a supportive team.

you are highly motivated, enthusiastic, and dynamic
you have high expectations for yourself and the children you work with
you have a good sense of humour and the resilience to thrive in a busy school environment?

we would love to hear from you!
