• Inclusive environment: This is a Jewish primary school with a warm, inclusive culture – staff from all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed and valued (no dress code).
• Professional development: If you haven’t used Twinkl Phonics before, the school is happy to provide training, making this a great chance to expand your skill set.
• Supportive setting: You’ll work within a collaborative and nurturing team where your contributions are truly appreciated.
What We’re Looking For
• Strong spoken English and confidence in delivering phonics.
• Experience supporting children in Reception or Year 1.
• Enthusiasm, patience, and the ability to inspire young learners.
