Do you relish the chance to be part of a driven, creative and supportive team?
Your opportunity
The successful candidate will support the class teacher in the delivery of learning and teaching activities.

What we're looking for:
We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic individual who is passionate about children’s learning, development, and welfare. You will be someone who can assist in preparing the classroom and support both children and the teacher with professionalism.
