This role is ideal for those passionate about primary education, literacy, and community building. You will support the Class Teacher in delivering high-quality lessons and ensuring no child is left behind.

  • Creative Classroom Management: Assist the teacher in preparing resources, creating displays, and managing classroom behavior to maintain a positive learning atmosphere.

  • Holistic Pupil Support: Assist with the social and emotional development of students, helping them build resilience and teamwork skills.

  • Collaborative Success: Work closely with the Class Teacher to track pupil progress and ensure a safe, inclusive, and high-energy learning environment.

Essential Requirements We value energy, initiative, and a "can-do" attitude. You are an ideal fit if you:
  • Are Proactive & Energetic: You see what needs to be done and jump in to help, whether it's setting up a science experiment or mediating a playground dispute.

  • Have Relevant Experience: This could be from a school, youth club, coaching, or any setting where you have mentored or led young people.

  • Are Academically Confident: You have a strong grasp of the primary curriculum and the ability to explain concepts in a way that "clicks" for children.

  • Are Committed: You hold an enhanced DBS (or are willing to apply) and are 100% dedicated to Safeguarding and child welfare.
