The Role
You’ll be based in a lively, diverse primary school supporting pupils across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Your day will involve working 1:1 with pupils who need extra help, running group interventions in reading, writing or maths, and assisting the class teacher with general classroom tasks.
