Desian Education is pleased to be recruiting for a nurturing and proactive Year 3 Teaching Assistant to join a welcoming Wirral primary school. This is a full-time, long-term role supporting a pupil who will truly benefit from a caring, consistent, and patient Teaching Assistant by their side.

About the Role

We are looking for someone who can:

• Teaching Assistant who can provide calm, nurturing support and help maintain focus through flexible strategies.

What you’ll need
