We offer you the support of clear systems, protocols, expectations and structures to help you to succeed. You will need to show initiative, creativity and demonstrate the aptitude to work as part of a successful and growing team to improve the life chances of our pupils and make every child feel special.

Ideally, you will:

Understand that children communicate in a variety of ways and we have a responsibility to meet the needs of all learners
Have HLTA experience and/or equivalent qualifications
Have excellent literacy and numeracy skills (A–C GCSE or equivalent)
Be able to build positive relationships with children, staff and parents

Be willing to work collaboratively as part of a team
Be energetic, positive and enthusiastic

What we can offer you:

Salary Sacrifice offers, including Bike2Work, Tech Scheme and Gym Membership
Substantial workplace pension
Term time ‘Give Back Day’ to take for personal reasons
Staff Wellbeing support
CPD opportunities for all staff

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. A DBS disclosure and Social Media online check is required for this post.
