Teaching Assistant Level 2

SCHOOL VACANCY

Will you be our new Teaching Assistant (level 2)?

A message from the children at Clifton Green Primary School;

‘We go to Clifton Green Primary School and we’re looking for a new Teaching Assistant.

We would like you to be someone who knows our names, someone who asks us how we are, and listens to our answers.

We’re all different and might learn differently from one another, we might communicate differently or come from a different family, culture or background. Some of us might need extra help with some things like our learning.

We don’t all need the same thing to succeed – but we all need someone who believes we can.

We want you to believe that every single one of us belongs at Clifton Green and that we should all have the chance to join in, learn and succeed.

You will be someone who helps us with our learning. You might work with a small group of us and sometimes you might just work with one of us.

If you are kind and patient, inclusive and brilliant at helping us learn, please come and join us at Clifton Green Primary School.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to bring your sense of humour to school every day!’

Visits to school are welcomed in advance of the closing date. To request a visit, please contact us at recruitment@cliftongreenprimary.co.uk.
