• Encouraging participation, engagement and confidence in lessons
• Supporting teachers with classroom activities and preparation
• Contributing to a positive and inclusive school environment

The successful Graduate Teaching Assistant will have:

• An interest in education and working with young people
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A positive, resilient and professional approach
• The ability to build strong relationships with students and colleagues
