We are looking for enthusiastic teaching assistants 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. The job is demanding but extremely fulfilling as you know you are making a difference to the lives of the children you are working with.

Applications are welcome both from those with previous experience working in schools and from those who have not worked in a school but who can demonstrate the skills and attitudes which will make them successful in the role.
