We're seeking a dedicated Classroom Support Assistant to join a vibrant school. This isn't just about assisting; it's about empowering young learners and being a pivotal part of their educational journey.

• Assisting effectively in whole-class settings, ensuring every student has the support they need.

• Specialising in supporting learners with severe and complex needs, helping them overcome challenges and celebrate achievements.

• Collaborating closely with the class teacher to achieve learning objectives and create an inclusive classroom.

• Bright and spacious classrooms equipped with top-of-the-range resources and technology.

• A highly supportive Senior Leadership Team committed to your success.

• Enjoy free tea, cakes, and biscuits in our modern staff room - a little treat to brighten your day!
