Assist the class teacher in delivering engaging and accessible lessons
Help to create a safe and supportive learning environment
Monitor and track student progress, adapting support as required
Build positive, lasting relationships with pupils, staff, and families

Calm, patient, and proactive with a nurturing approach
A great communicator who can build trust and rapport
Passionate about helping every child achieve their full potential
Eager to become part of a close-knit and supportive school community
