As an Associate Teacher, you will work alongside the teaching team to support the delivery of engaging learning activities, help pupils overcome barriers to learning and encourage positive attitudes towards education.

You will help deliver learning activities, reinforce key concepts and contribute to pupils' academic progress and wellbeing.

We are looking for an Associate Teacher who is enthusiastic, adaptable and committed to helping children succeed.

The successful candidate will:

• Encourage positive behaviour, participation and a love of learning

• Adapt support to meet pupils' individual learning needs and abilities

• Build positive relationships with pupils and staff while contributing to an inclusive classroom environment

• Work collaboratively with teachers and other school staff to support pupils' progress and wellbeing

Experience in a school, tutoring or classroom support environment would be advantageous. Applications from graduates and aspiring teachers looking to gain valuable experience in primary education are also welcome.

Please be advised that this role requires a strong knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection. Successful applicants must satisfy all safer recruitment checks, including providing an enhanced DBS on the Update Service or completing an application for a new check.

We also offer, via our partner, access to accredited education-relevant CPD courses.
