We have recently moved to a new, state of the art site in South Shields and the Governors and Head Teacher of Epinay Business & Enterprise School would like to appoint 2 Teaching Assistant Apprentices to work towards a Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools qualification. As part of the role, you will be required to attend inset training days and twilight sessions.

Training will fully prepare the successful candidates for a career in supporting teaching and learning. Successful candidates will work throughout the school alongside experienced professionals. You will be expected to demonstrate a commitment to the role and should make a positive contribution to the progress of our pupils.

You will need to demonstrate you have good communication skills, confidence and that you are able to take the initiative. You will be reliable, hard working and approachable.
