We hold high expectations of our children who make accelerated academic progress as well as improve their social and emotional responses and behaviours. Successful candidates will have the responsibility for keeping children safe, enhancing their self-esteem, providing appropriate challenge as well as supporting teachers in delivering purposeful, inspiring and engaging learning experiences.

 We are looking for HLTAs who:

 ·        have a keen interest in children’s learning and a desire to grow professionally and learn more;

·        can demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills; display competent English and Maths skills;

·        have knowledge of the different National Curriculum subject areas and can provide fun, purposeful and engaging learning opportunities;

·        have a dynamic personality, caring attitude, patience, enthusiasm and emotional intelligence;

·        have the ability to work as part of a team as well as the confidence and keenness to learn and work on their own initiative;
