Would you like a chance to be part of something special at Westbourne School?

Westbourne is a leading school in the Yorkshire region, and a co-educational independent school in

The School is at an exciting crossroads in its history, with a new Head, and a recently completed £3m

play area.

It's not just Westbourne's values of excellence, inclusion, respect and resilience that make

in an environment that nurtures happy pupils to perform at their best. Westbourne's story is one of

We are seeking a Teaching Assistant who will play a pivotal role in a specific child's development,

fostering a child-centred environment by delivering the EYFS curriculum under the guidance of the

practice to track developmental progress, maintain learning diaries, and ensure the safety and welfare

of this pupil. An awareness of SEND would be beneficial in order to fully support this child to access

learning at Westbourne. Embodying the "Westbourne Way," you will model a growth mindset, build

strong partnerships with parents and the wider community, and contribute to the school's professional

culture.
