At St Francis, we want to work with people who are passionate about caring for children, who are energetic and can help us support the development of our wonderful children from birth to 13 years old. Our educational approach to learning blends traditional educational values with innovation and outstanding pastoral care. All of which takes place within 17 acres of superb grounds where our children can climb, run, explore and develop within the space and beauty of our natural environment.

The successful candidate will fully embrace St Francis School’s vision to educate and inspire children to fulfil their potential. They will work collaboratively with other staff including the Class Teacher and Head of Learning Support, delivering directed interventions and planning and creating alternative resources for the pupil.

Patient, understanding and non-judgemental, the successful applicant will be a strong team player who displays excellent communication skills with children, their parents and colleagues as well as being organised and demonstrating high levels of professionalism. Flexibility and adaptability together with good IT skills and self-motivation will make you a strong contender for this role.
