    Build Confidence: Create a warm, purposeful environment where children feel safe to take risks and celebrate their achievements.

  * 

    Track Progress: Collaborate with teachers to observe and assess pupil development, ensuring no child is left behind.

  * 

    Champion Literacy: Share the magic of stories by listening to pupils read and fostering a lifelong love of books.

Are You Who We’re Looking For?

We want more than just a CV; we want a personality! You should be:

  * 

    Positive & Happy: Someone with a strong presence and a great sense of humour.

  * 

    Energetic: Driven to create "wow" moments for our pupils every day.

  * 

    Adaptable: Ready to innovate and flex within a growing, fast-paced environment.

  * 

    Qualified: We welcome applications from all levels, including those with HLTA qualifications.
