About the Role

- Uphold a calm, purposeful learning environment.
- Support with lesson and registration cover, exam invigilation, and administrative tasks.
- Support on school trips and events where needed.
- Follow school behaviour and safeguarding procedures consistently.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have:
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
- A calm, confident presence in the classroom.
- Strong time management, flexibility, and reliability.
- A team-oriented mindset and the ability to work independently when needed.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a conscientious team player looking to work in a vibrant and supportive school environment.
- To apply, please send your completed application form and covering letter to the Headteacher, via Mrs J Nichol at jnichol@opgs.org by the closing date of Friday 4th July 2025.
