We are looking for a team player who has relevant, recent experience, high expectations and a commitment to ensure that the children they support achieve their potential. Applicants should have the ability to identify and support pupils’ needs proactively: particular understanding of the following would be beneficial – ADHD, Pathways to Progress, White Rose Maths. Excellent interpersonal skills are a prerequisite of the post, and a willingness to contribute positively to our team and to become involved in the wider aspects of school life is also important.

As this post involves contact with, and access to children, it will be subject to an enhanced DBS check: any offer of employment will be conditional upon the outcome of this check.
