At Belmont Primary School, we don’t just teach—we change lives. We’re on the lookout for a Pupil Support Worker/Teaching Assistant with heart, resilience, and a passion for helping students shine—no matter the challenges they face.

• Has a calm, patient and caring approach—especially in challenging moments
• Loves working with young people and is passionate about making learning accessible for everyone
• Can build strong, supportive relationships with pupils and staff alike
