• Passion for KS2: A genuine desire to support children aged 7-11, assisting with core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, and fostering independence.
• Key Qualities: Patience, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, adaptability, a proactive approach, and a positive attitude.

Your Role Will Involve:
• Providing in-class support to pupils in Key Stage 2, individually or in small groups, under the direction of the class teacher.
• Assisting with the implementation of lesson plans across the KS2 curriculum, including literacy, numeracy, and topic work.
• Helping to create a positive, engaging, and stimulating learning environment that encourages independence and critical thinking.
• Supporting classroom management and promoting positive behaviour and peer relationships among older primary children.
• Assisting with the preparation of classroom resources and displays.
• Liaising with the class teacher regarding pupil progress, observations, and any areas of concern.
• Supporting children during independent work, group activities, and potentially during small intervention sessions.

Why Join Us?
• Be part of a supportive and friendly team dedicated to KS2 education.
• Opportunities for professional development, including essential Team Teach training.
• The chance to build strong relationships with pupils and contribute significantly to their academic and personal growth.
• Competitive daily rates of pay.
