We are looking to appoint enthusiastic, highly motivated Educational Teaching Assistants, who are passionate about supporting learning and building positive relationships with children with a range of needs, and who has the knowledge, skills, abilities and experience to do so.

This may involve assisting in the planning, preparation and delivery of the learning activities, as well as monitoring students, assessing, recording and reporting on achievement, progress and development, under the direction of the class teacher.

The successful candidates will need to be able to work collaboratively and flexibly and build good relationships with staff and key parents, demonstrating a respectful and caring attitude towards everyone in school.

This role is ideal for those wanting to further their career in education and who have a desire to secure the best outcomes for our young people with SEND.

We are a Catholic school with students attending from diverse cultural backgrounds, which contributes to the distinctive ethos.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our College making substantial progress under current leadership. In turn, we are looking for a candidate committed to playing a part in transforming the lives of our young people.
