  • Patience, empathy, and adaptability—you’ll need to handle a variety of situations with a calm and caring approach.
  • A strong desire to work collaboratively with teachers, parents, and other professionals to provide the best learning experience possible.
  • Relevant qualifications, such as a Level 2/3 Teaching Assistant Certificate (or willingness to work towards one).

Why Join Us?
