Full-time, term-time role: 8:00am – 3:30pm
Hands-on experience in a dynamic and fast-paced Year 2 classroom
Support from an experienced class teacher and SENCo
Fantastic preparation for Teacher Training, Educational Psychology or a SEND career

Confidence, resilience and the ability to adapt quickly in a busy setting
Strong communication skills and a natural rapport with young children
A genuine passion for early years, behaviour and child development
