Teaching Assistant

Working under the direction and supervision of teaching staff, you will assist with teaching and learning and associated activities in order to help students progress, through appropriate targeted interventions. As a teaching assistant you will also assist, when required, with the planning, delivery and evaluation of learning activities, supporting in whole classes and working with individuals and small groups of students.

The successful candidate will ideally hold a relevant NVQ level 3 (or equivalent qualification), or have recent proven experience of working effectively with young people at this level in a similar role in an education setting. Teamwork is key and it is essential that you have excellent communication skills and the ability to engage and work with a range of school professionals.

With over 700 students on roll, the school is at the heart of the local community, serving families in Ibstock and the surrounding villages of North-West Leicestershire.
