In this role, you will play an essential part in supporting pupils’ academic learning, emotional well-being, and social development—often helping them achieve things they once thought were beyond reach, both in the classroom and on the playground. In addition to supporting pupils during the school day, the post includes assisting with the daily operation of our school Breakfast Club.
This position is ideal for someone who thrives on variety, values inclusive education, and is committed to helping young people build confidence, independence, and resilience.
Shinewater Primary School is a friendly, happy, and hardworking community where mutual respect, positive attitudes toward learning, and good behavior are nurtured every day.
