Charlton Primary School is looking to appoint an enthusiastic, positive and hardworking Teaching and Learning Assistant. We are a friendly, happy school with a supportive staff team and well-motivated children who are eager to engage and learn.

The role will involve working up to 30 hours over five days a week, providing pupil support on a one-to-one basis or within small groups, as well as supporting the class teacher with general classroom management. There is also the expectation that you will cover for 30 minutes every lunchtime.

Whether you’ve worked in schools, youth work, care, or another setting — if you connect well with children and believe in inclusion, we want to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is emotionally intelligent, positive and proactive. You’ll work alongside our experienced team to support pupils’ learning, wellbeing and development, helping create a classroom where all children feel safe, supported and inspired to flourish.

About You

• Connects easily and positively with children
• Is calm, flexible and compassionate
• Can work closely with teachers and colleagues to deliver excellent support
• Is willing to learn and grow
