• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to act on your own initiative;

• An enthusiastic, can-do attitude with a good sense of humour.

This is an exciting time to join our school. You will become part of a positive, aspirational and fun team that values the contribution of its LSAs immensely. Training can be provided and ongoing professional development will be encouraged.
