• Contributing to the preparation and organisation of teaching materials
• Providing personal care to pupils when required
• Collecting and recording learning data and maintaining progress evidence

• To have excellent communication skills and a collaborative team spirit
• Be comfortable with providing personal care and participating in physical activities with students
• A keen interest in developing a career working with children and young adults

There is lots of scope for development and progression with this school with regular performance reviews and feedback sessions so you can hone your skills, consistent mentoring support from colleagues along with the opportunity to work towards full time teaching duties for those that want to develop their career in this direction.
