Teaching Assistant Level 2 at Courthill Infant School

Courthill Infant School is a popular, forward thinking infant school where children are valued, motivated and challenged to be the very best that they can be. Our children are at the heart of everything we do. We want our children to be happy, confident and resilient; equipped with the skills they need, both now and in the future. Our culture is one which embraces a growth mindset whereby everyone recognises that we all have endless potential, providing we work hard; practise new skills; act on constructive feedback and understand that it’s not that ‘we can’t do it’, but rather that ‘we can’t do it yet.’

We are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant (Level 2) where the successful candidate will work within a whole class, with small groups of children or on a 1:1 basis.
