Hays Education are seeking to appoint a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant for a lovely Infant School in the Castleford area. This is a permanent position to start in September 2024.
The successful candidate will have the ability to relate well to children and adults and have the ability to deal with conflicting demands and be able to work flexibly. You will also have experience and knowledge of the national curriculum and other relevant learning programmes and strategies and how to implement them. Understanding of behaviour management strategies and how to work with these will play a key part in this role.
You will be a positive influence within the school and have an understanding of classroom roles and responsibilities and your own position within these. You will also be a talented individual who will foster a supportive learning environment for our students.

- Provide support to pupils, teachers and the school in order to raise standards of achievement for all, by utilising your advanced levels of knowledge and skills when assisting with planning, monitoring, assessing and managing classes, and to encourage pupils to become independent learners.
The school is situated in the former industrial heartland of Yorkshire, close to the junction of the M62 and A1 and its transport links. The Trust currently comprises four schools across the primary and secondary phases. This school is well-established with a culture of continued school improvement to ensure all children meet their potential.
