We are seeking to appoint a talented individual to join us as a Learning Support Assistant in the recently established primary phase at Helena Romanes School.

This is an exciting time to join the school. In October 2023, Ofsted judged the school to be GOOD in all areas. In September 2021, the school was designated as an all-through school for pupils aged 4-18 years and began admitting pupils into its primary phase. We will grow incrementally over the subsequent years and will eventually become a two-form entry primary phase. We are also working with the Department of Education to build a new, state-of-the-art school building on Stortford Road, Great Dunmow, which is set to open to the primary phase in 2025 and the secondary and sixth form phase in 2026.

We are looking for someone who:

- is enthusiastic about supporting children to achieve their best
- has high expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour
- has excellent interpersonal, organisational and communication skills
- has a high standard of English and maths

Why choose our school?

We are a welcoming, friendly and caring school
We have enthusiastic children who love learning
We offer excellent opportunities for professional development
We have a brand new learning environment
We are part of the highly successful Saffron Academy Trust
