About the role:

Engage Education is working with a welcoming primary school in Mitcham that is seeking a committed Teaching Assistant to join its KS1 team as soon as possible.

The ideal applicant will be:

  • Patient, caring and able to build positive relationships with children
  • Confident supporting learning, behaviour and classroom routines
  • Flexible and proactive, with a genuine interest in helping children succeed
  • Able to work effectively as part of a team

Previous school-based experience is desirable, but the school will consider candidates with relevant childcare, tutoring or youth-work experience.
