Teaching Assistant

Teaching Assistant, Full Time, From September 2022

At Elstree, we are constantly striving to offer the best experience to our pupils and staff and are looking to recruit a teaching assistant to join our school.  We seek to inspire each pupil to fulfil their academic and personal potential and to be reflective and purposeful.  We aim to appoint candidates who will contribute to and thrive in our vibrant community.

You will be a passionate and enthusiastic teaching assistant and will complement our Pre-Prep teaching team from September 2022. The successful candidate will be based within our Early Years or KS1 department. 

There is the option of taking on an additional responsibility by supporting our after school ‘Ducklings’ club with an extended day until 6pm. Please express your interest in this when applying if it is something that you would like to consider. 

Set in 150 acres of stunning parkland in rural West Berkshire, Elstree welcomes boys and girls aged 3-13 years.  Originally founded in 1848, it moved to its current location in 1939 and opened its Pre-Prep school in 1993.  It offers boarding, both flexi and weekly, from Year 4 onwards.  

Elstree is a close community and we pride ourselves on the very special, warm environment that has evolved since our inception, influenced largely by the family principles of Elstree School. We understand each parent’s desire for their child to feel happy and secure and consider our role in the children’s development and happiness to be a very privileged one. Our committed, energetic and enthusiastic staff look forward to working in partnership with parents throughout their child’s time at Elstree.  All children are valued as individuals and are encouraged to explore and develop their talents to the full.
