• deliver planned lessons and lead whole classes in the absence of a class teacher
• support the implementation of nurturing and stimulating classroom environments
• inspire children
• promote positive behaviour

We are looking for someone who:
• holds the HLTA qualification or is a qualified teacher
• has experience of working within a primary school setting
• is confident with leading whole class teaching
• is an excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills
