EAL Support Assistant

Slough and Eton has an exciting opportunity for someone to join our excellent English as an Additional Language (EAL) team as a support assistant to support our EAL students across the curriculum. The successful applicant will be a specialist supporting EAL students so they can achieve their very best. Almost 70% of our students have English as an additional language and the team benefits from great leadership from its Curriculum Leader.

 We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

The position involves supporting in class as well as with small groups of students and sometimes on a 1:1 basis. You will be expected to support students across Years 7-13. We think this is a great opportunity for someone interested in a career in teaching in the future and are keen to provide training to facilitate that for the right candidate.
