We are looking for two enthusiastic and lively teaching assistants to work with pupils who have physical and communication difficulties. The roles involve support in the classroom and a high level of physical work and personal care of pupils. One role is a permanent appointment and the other is a fixed term contract to cover maternity leave of up to one year.

Previous experience is not essential as full training will be given. We have purpose designed buildings co-located with mainstream settings.

We are a very successful school and in 2007, 2010 and 2014 we were graded as “outstanding” by Ofsted. High expectations, a positive attitude and team work are central to the success of the school. Learn more about us by visiting our website: www.cloudesley.islington.sch.uk
