Brief Description
We are a world class primary (5-11) special school, working in Derby with a range of pupils and needs in our school. Our school has a family feel by supporting each other and this is a great opportunity for an apprentice to join our fantastic team and develop their own knowledge and confidence by supporting the class teacher to enhance learning.
Training to be Provided
Apprentices will achieve a Level 3 Teaching Assistant and will receive off the job training through a blended learning package.
Future Prospects
At St Giles, we love to grow our own staff. We have had a lot of apprentices over the last few years who have become a teaching assistant within our school once their apprenticeship has finished and then some have developed further in becoming a HLTA (higher level teaching assistant) which involves running their own interventions and covering teachers.
