Teddington School are looking to recruit two enthusiastic Learning Support Assistants to join our vibrant team from September 2023.
As a Learning Support Assistant you will support the class teacher by working with small groups or individuals to ensure that children make good progress in academic, personal and social well-being. The ideal candidate will be flexible, adaptable and have an appetite for learning. You will understand that every child needs personalised support to help them reach their potential, and seek ways of supporting this. You may also support students based in the Kingfisher Centre, with additional Social, Emotional and Mental Heath needs to undertake their learning and access lessons and activities integrated across the school.
At Teddington School, we ensure that the educational experience all students receive is first class. Staff at Teddington maintain the highest standards, have a positive outlook, are inventive in their thinking and adopt a ‘can-do’ approach.
Our School is in an exciting phase as part of the high performing Bourne Education Trust and has recently been judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We are located on a modern and attractive campus that overlooks the River Thames. Inside our school, you will find a professional working environment with a calm and caring atmosphere based on mutual respect between all stakeholders. We pride ourselves on the fundamental principle that teachers have the right to teach and students have the right to learn.
This role would be suitable for anyone interested in training as a teacher and would provide excellent experience and the opportunity to progress into a teacher training scheme, if sought.
A job description and person specification can be found in our recruitment pack.
