If you relish the thought of working with enthusiastic children as part of a close team of people who enjoy their work then we would love to hear from you.

Our friendly, family school is seeking to appoint a learning support assistant to work closely with an established teacher in a mixed Year 5&6 class.

Additional hours may also be possible with supporting breakfast club before school from 8am.
