• A supportive staff team
• A rewarding role where you can make a genuine impact
• A lively and engaging classroom environment
• The opportunity to become a valued member of the school community

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to spend a day in school before the end of the summer term. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet the class, get to know the teacher and experience the role first-hand before September. We're looking for someone who can build positive relationships quickly, so the trial day will give you the chance to show us exactly what you can bring to the classroom.
