• Bridge the Gap: Provide meaningful feedback to the main teacher, ensuring a smooth transition and consistent student progress.

What You'll Need:

• Previous experience working with children (experience in a school setting is a plus!).
• A good understanding of the primary school environment and child development.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a patient and nurturing approach.
• A flexible, can-do attitude and the ability to adapt to new environments.
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help you with this!) and the right to work in the UK.
