Love variety? You'll love this role. This is not a job for someone who wants every day to look the same.
As our whole-school Learning Assistant, you'll be supporting children from Nursery to Year 6, stepping into classrooms, helping individuals and small groups, joining trips, and being part of the events and activities that make school life so exciting. We are looking for someone who is:
* Highly adaptable and doesn't love routine.
* Energetic with a can-do attitude.
* Positive and eager to take on a wide variety of tasks.
* Confident working with children of all ages, from our youngest learners to our oldest pupils.
* Ready to support learning, wellbeing, and enrichment in equal measure.
* A team player with a genuine commitment to making a difference.
In return, we can offer:
* A role that places you at the heart of school life, from Nursery play to vital support through to Year 6's heading into exam season.
* The chance to work in a supportive, friendly, and lively environment.
* A rewarding position where you are valued.
If you're excited by the idea of a role that combines classroom support, small group work, and the buzz of trips and whole-school activities, we'd love to hear from you. Please see our job description to find out all the details.
