The school:
We are recruiting on behalf of a small and well-established primary school that has recently partnered with a second school in the area, after being graded 'Good' with 'Outstanding' leadership; this was achieved through the SLT being extremely supportive of all staff members.

You will need to be a collaborative and driven individual who will support and assist on the delivery of the subjects.

The school is based in rural Tameside, with excellent public transport links and ample parking available.

As a Teaching Assistant, you will have the support of a cohesive and committed team of teachers who work collaboratively to maintain high standards and expectations, plus:
