We are looking for an enthusiastic teaching assistant who enjoy working with children and want to help them to learn.

If appointed, you will work in class to support the learning of children with additional needs, alongside the class teacher, as well as working with individual children out of the classroom. You will be part of a team of teaching assistants and teachers who share a commitment to providing the best possible education to all of the students at Saint Aidan’s.
