Although
it helps, it is not essential to be qualified to apply for this role. You may
be looking for a career change and want the
opportunity to make a real difference to the education and wellbeing of our
children. You may have different lived or work experience, gained in the care
sector, or the NHS for example, or worked/volunteered with children in
non-school environment. You may be leaving college with a level 2 in education
and early years, or a certificate in childcare and are looking for the
opportunity to share your skills.
The most
important thing is having the right mindset for the role. You need to be proactive, energetic, and committed in order
to engage pupils and develop their desire to learn. You will help inspire them
to be confident and independent. You will need to be calm, patient, sensitive,
and able to comfort children when they are upset. We are looking for
people who demonstrate a positive attitude and enthusiasm for creating a
supportive learning environment.
THE ROLE
You will work closely with the class teacher to resource and adapt planning and support high quality teaching and learning across all subjects. You will help to create learning environments where pupils can expand their knowledge. You will work with the school community to uphold our trust and school values. The role will include working across KS1 and KS2, working 1:1 and group work.
