The post involves supporting pupils within class groups under the line management of teachers.

Our priority is to appoint outstanding practitioners who will make a positive contribution to the team. Please state clearly in your application your strengths and areas of expertise. Whoever you are you will be committed to promoting the joy of learning and the best educational opportunities for all pupils.
