We are looking for a Teaching Assistant. This is an exciting opportunity to join Blaise High School and become an integral member of the Resource Base Team.

We operate the Resource Base with absolute integrity having strong moral principles with the students, and we are extremely proud of our Resource Base students and staff, just as we are with all members of the school community.

To be a successful member of the team you need to have empathy, compassion, resilience, and an absolute belief that all students are capable of achievement. You need to share our commitment that all students deserve high aspirations that can be achieved through a balance of individual, personal and academic achievement.
