 Every day is a chance to make a real difference! As part of our team, you’ll be supporting individual pupils or small groups, helping them shine and reach their full potential. Whether it’s through tailored teaching strategies, behaviour plans, or Individual Education Plans, you’ll be right there, cheering them on and guiding their progress. 

You’ll help all our pupils feel included, confident, and excited to take part in school life—and access the national curriculum in a way that works for them.

With a rich and engaging curriculum and a team of passionate, caring educators, we create high-quality learning experiences that excite, challenge, and inspire

  • Generous Pension Scheme – for your future security. 

  • Flexi Days – two paid days off during term time for those important life moments.
