Blacklow Brow School is looking to appoint a Level 3 Teaching Assistant on a permanent basis to work in the Key Stage 1 and/or Key Stage 2 setting.

Additional qualifications relating to the primary curriculum, SEND, or specific intervention programmes (e.g. Read Write Inc., White Rose Maths) would be advantageous, as would a current First Aid qualification. Full training relevant to the role will be provided to the successful candidate.
