We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and confident Teaching & Sports Assistant, who is passionate about supporting children both in the classroom, under the direction of a form teacher and during sports lessons, as part of the Sports & PE department.

Detail

Approximately half of your time will be spent working closely with your form teacher (supporting a class of children aged 4 - 7 years) and the remainder of your time will be working under the direction of the Director of Sports and Head of PE, supporting with the delivery of all aspects of the PE and games curriculum, including assisting with lessons; clubs, practices and fixtures for Year 1 to 8 pupils.
