Hastings School aims to provide a high-quality education within a culture of care.

Founded in 1971, Hastings School is a school that is growing rapidly with a new 21st Century Sixth Form teaching block opened in September 2019 and a new Primary campus in September 2021.

As part of the Cognita Group, our staff is able to access considerable professional development opportunities and share best practice with colleagues in other schools.

Most teachers who come to Madrid choose to stay as it offers a superb quality of life with wonderful weather, culture, sport, food and people (something for everyone!). You can even find skiing during the winter only one hour north. It is a great base from which to explore Spain and Europe and the cost of living is lower than the UK.

The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Teaching Assistant to join our fantastic team.

About Cognita
Cognita is a global leader in independent education. Founded in 2004, we are a growing community of 100+ schools in 20 countries - in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East - serving more than 95,000 students. Each of our schools are proudly unique, however our collective purpose is to create an environment where everyone can, ‘Thrive in a rapidly evolving world’.

About the role
As a Primary Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting the class teacher to deliver a rich, balanced, and engaging curriculum. You’ll work closely with pupils to help them reach their full potential—both academically and personally—by supporting learning in the classroom, implementing planned activities, and supervising group work. Your role will also involve contributing to a positive, well-organised learning environment, assisting with behaviour management, and helping to maintain resources and classroom order. You’ll be actively involved in assessing and monitoring pupil progress and will support the wider school day through duties such as lunch and playground supervision.

This is a permanent, full-time role immediately available.
