We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and passionate Teaching Assistant to work with students who are facing a variety of challenges which affect their progress in the classroom.

In addition, the post holder will be expected to act as a mentor for a group of students or other directed intervention for up to 45 mins each morning as required and at times to supervise students at break and lunch times, offering structured activities to students. The successful candidate will join an established team of both teachers, HLTA's and Learning Coaches (TAs) and must be prepared to work in a flexible, creative and collegiate way.

Candidates without A-Levels, a degree or a relevant Level 3 for the role will be required to enroll on once appointed. We will support you to gain this qualification as part of our commitment to staff development and improving student outcomes.
