Teaching Assistant

Teaching Personnel work closely in partnership with The Diocese of Lancaster Education Service and as a result we are working closely alongside a number of Catholic Primary Schools across Preston, Lancaster and The Fylde. We are currently in search of experienced teaching assistants who are keen to secure long term work specifically within Catholic Schools. We are looking for candidates who are confident upholding the Catholic Faith and participating in Collective Worship.
