Learning Assistant
The successful applicant will have the ability to be flexible, adapting to a range of roles and situations to cater for the needs of our students. Proven experience of working in a team essential, with previous roles in the Early Childhood or Primary classroom a strong advantage.
Learning Assistants work closely with teaching staff and can give instruction one-on-one or in small group situations. They work with identified children requiring support for learning, health, social or emotional needs. Professional development is provided and expected, especially to work with the Literacy or Numeracy intervention groups.
Initially, hours will be 15-20/week and mainly in the mornings (with scope to increase as the year progresses). The Learning Assistant will work mainly in the Senior School (Yr5-8). Ideally, the successful candidate would start mid-March.
