? Promote the learning and welfare of students by providing practical and learning support to students, including those with special needs, under the direction of a class teacher/SENDCo.
? Enjoy the challenges and rewards of working with teaching staff to support pupils, individually or in small groups. The role is an exciting chance to play a pivotal role in a supportive and friendly team and is also a great opportunity for those wishing to pursue a career in secondary teaching.
You should have:
? Good language literacy, numeracy and IT skills.
? Be educated to a minimum of GCSE or equivalent level
