We are seeking to recruit two learning support assistants to work at this brand new primary school.

As well as supporting in class, the roles will include providing wraparound childcare (either morning or after school) and lunchtime supervision.

Post 1 will be to work 7.45 a.m. to 2.15 p.m.

Post 2 will be to work 11.30 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.

Greenstone will be following a Forest School approach to its curriculum therefore any experience of outdoor learning, including any Forest School qualification, will be welcomed.

We strongly believe that nature nurtures creativity and empowers children to take ownership over their learning, fostering independence and providing the freedom to take risks whilst developing confidence. At Greenstone, we believe regular contact with nature is essential for holistic, healthy child development and we will provide regular, invaluable outdoor learning opportunities as an integral part of our curriculum.

In its first year, Greenstone will have just one class in the Foundation Stage. As a newly built school we have some great facilities which we are continuing to develop in preparation for the opening.

Being part of the Lionheart Educational Trust you will have access to a range of staff benefits including Benenden Health Care, reduced gym membership fees, golden time (one day a year paid leave), free flu jabs and eye tests.

The Trust strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where all staff have a seat at the table: a seat to be free, a seat to inspire, a seat to challenge and a seat to succeed.

We currently have staff networks for staff who are Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer + (LGBTQ+), staff who would describe their background as working class and staff with a disability.
