• Assist with classroom management and support the teacher in creating a productive and welcoming learning environment.

• Support students during break times and lunchtime, ensuring their safety and wellbeing.

• Help with any additional duties as required by the school, including classroom preparation and administrative tasks.

Key Skills and Qualifications:

• Previous experience working with children or young adults, particularly in an educational setting, is highly desirable but not essential.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage with students of varying ages and abilities.

• A patient, empathetic, and proactive approach to working with students, particularly those who may require extra support.

• The ability to work collaboratively with teachers and other school staff to deliver the best learning outcomes for students.

• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

• Ideally, a Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification, or a background in a related field (such as child development or special education), though training can be provided for the right candidate.
