Who are we looking for?
Are you an enthusiastic and caring teaching assistant who is looking for a new challenge? If so, please consider joining our small (but wonderful!) staff team on the wards of University Hospital Coventry.
Hospital Education Service is seeking a teaching assistant to work predominantly with primary-aged pupils during their stay in hospital. Pupils come from both mainstream and special schools, so experience in either (or both!) would be valuable. Every day is different on the wards, so the successful candidate will be adaptable and confident in interacting with a wide variety of adults and children. Full details of the post requirements can be found on the Job Description & Person Specification.
Monday – Friday – 9am- 3pm
