Creative Classroom Support

Every school day brings new challenges, new achievements, and new opportunities to make a difference. We're working with a number of welcoming and inclusive primary schools across BS15 that are looking for enthusiastic and compassionate Classroom Support Assistants to help pupils thrive both academically and emotionally. Many of the children attending these schools speak English as an Additional Language (EAL), so additional language skills are always valued. However, the most important qualities are patience, positivity, and the ability to build strong relationships with children from a range of backgrounds. Whether you're already working in education or looking to transfer your skills from childcare, youth work, coaching, tutoring, or care settings, this could be the perfect next step.
