This role really is the best of both worlds for someone looking to kick-start their career in a primary school setting.

This course typically lasts 16-18 months and is equivalent to two A levels.
You will have a structured learning programme including both 'on the job' and 'off the job' activities, designed to cover everything you need to learn. Your tutor will meet with you regularly to guide you through your learning and this will be complemented by support from us. Your progress will be reviewed regularly and you will be involved in this process.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an OFSTED rated "Outstanding" School, in a role with real variety from day one, whilst working towards a qualification. The successful candidate must have excellent people and communication skills and be flexible to adapt to changing situations.
