Waverley School became an all-through school in September 2012.  At Waverley we create an environment which allows everyone to develop mutual respect for each other and a respect for learning. 

This is an exciting time to join Waverley Education Foundation Trust. We have landmark buildings equipped with state of the art and design technology facilities for teaching, learning and training. As part of the exciting growth plans for the Trust, we are expanding our team to meet future requirements. We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our team as Level 2 Teaching Assistants within our Primary Phase. 

Ideal candidate will have a good understanding of how children can learn and develop and be able to work confidently with them and with other teachers.  Candidates must be able to use their own initiative and be able to communicate confidently and effectively with children, staff and parents.  All candidates must have the ability to work within and apply all school policies and it would be advantageous to have some knowledge of the SEN code of Practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for Teaching Assistants to further their experience and contribute to the positive achievement of our children.
