We are looking to appoint a Learning Support Assistant and a Sports coach to join our hardworking, passionate team.





We can offer:





A caring and positive working atmosphere inspired by our inclusive ethos and strong staff morale





A staff culture where further training is encouraged and where Learning Support Assistants have moved on to more highly paid roles within school or to training for future careers in education

The role would involve leading play activities and team games in the playground at lunchtime, leading PE sessions during the afternoon and then offering games and sporting activities for children attending our Out of school club.
