This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a supportive and nurturing environment where every child is valued and known.

About the Role:
The successful candidate will work three days per week supporting teaching and learning across our mixed-age class groups. You will also be required to deliver PPA cover, so confidence in leading whole-class teaching is essential.

  • Experience planning and delivering lessons as part of PPA cover

  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach

Desirable:
