This is an exciting opportunity to join our Trust at Ivybridge Community College.

All of our Teaching Assistants play an important role in assisting with support for students, to enable them to access the full range of curricular opportunities (academic and enrichment) the College has to offer.

The post holder will work under supervision and direction, usually within the classroom providing general support and assistance as part of a professional team, through the organisation and day to day maintenance of teaching resources and administrative support.
