Are you a compassionate, patient, and resilient individual looking to make a genuine difference in a child’s early education?
Our welcoming primary school in Ashington is seeking a dedicated Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support for a wonderful pupil entering our Early Years (EYFS) setting this September.

*
Skills: A good understanding of how young children develop and the ability to use creative, play-based methods to keep a child engaged.
*
Reliability: Consistency is vital for this pupil, so we need someone committed to the full standard school hours (8:30am – 3:30pm) for the entire academic year.
What Our School Offers

A warm, inclusive, and deeply supportive staff team.
*
Dedicated guidance and mentorship from our experienced SENCo and EYFS Lead.
