St Mary’s Catholic Primary School is looking to add to our Learning Support Team.
We are a nurturing community, committed to giving the children the best start in life, where they are encouraged to be Christ-like in their daily lives. As a school we aspire to create happy memories, where children are inspired to become resilient, independent and have a love of learning.
At St Mary’s, we believe that we only have one chance to create a holistic education, developing the whole person and valuing the individual as unique, created in God’s likeness. We aim to keep a child’s innate sense of inquiry and joy alive and shining brightly.

The HLTA will teach individuals, groups and whole classes either on their own or in the presence of a teacher and/or other teaching assistant. They will also supervise/cover classes (without the presence of a teacher) in the event of planned or unplanned absence by other teachers in the school.

- Are highly motivated and enthusiastic;
- Committed to Continued Professional Development and able to inspire and motivate others;
