- Have high standards of themselves and others and work well as part of a team
- Have experience, or an interest and understanding, of supporting primary aged children with additional needs
- Be a THRIVE trained practitioner (or be committed to undertaking additional training to become one)
- Have good literacy and numeracy skills (GCSE English and Mathematics to Grade C or above, or equivalent)
We can offer:
- A very welcoming, caring school ethos, where we are passionate about meeting the needs of all children and develop each child as a whole
- An opportunity to work within a talented, hard-working, supportive team of staff, governors and parents
- An inclusive ethos with happy, enthusiastic and motivated children
- Excellent professional learning opportunities and career development
- A well-resourced school, both inside and out
