We are looking for enthusiastic, reliable and caring individuals who can provide effective classroom support and help pupils engage with their learning, develop their confidence and reach their full potential.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates with backgrounds in care work, support work, childcare, nursery settings, youth work, residential care, sports coaching, mentoring, tutoring, behaviour support, SEN support, healthcare or community and family support.

Whether you are an experienced Teaching Assistant, hold a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification, are a recent graduate, or are looking to take your first step into education, we would love to hear from you.
