Teaching Assistant (Scale 3) 33 hrs per week, 39 weeks

This post is based in Edmonton.

Russet House is a supportive, friendly and positive school with highly experienced, motivated and talented staff.  We are now building on our success and opening an additional campus in Edmonton focussing initially on providing places for KS1.  This is a unique opportunity to be an integral part of a new project, helping to create additional provision for children with autism.  We are therefore seeking to recruit Teaching Assistants in order to open the new facility in the spring/ summer term. A full induction and training programme will take place at the main school before the new site is launched and will continue throughout your career at the school.   The successful candidates will need vision, passion, determination and a positive outlook. You will need to be flexible and adaptable to change.

Visits to the school are highly recommended and can be arranged with the school office.
