**ROLE SUMMARY**:

**Our school**- Our Caviglia campus welcomes over 500 children every day, from ages 2 to 14, and is located in the south of Milan, a short walk from the Corvetto Metro (M3). We are a happy and welcoming school and proud of the positive relationships we have with our families. **Our host city

- Milan has long been considered the dynamo of the Italian economy and the country's most cosmopolitan and forward-looking city. Located near the heart of Europe, it is extremely well connected with three major airports and easy road and rail links across the country and the continent. Although Milan is a busy commercial centre, the artistic and cultural heritage of Italy is prominent, from galleries and theatres to its fame as a global focus for fashion, design, nightlife, cuisine and lifestyle. There is a history of sporting excellence and its location near the mountains, lakes and the Mediterranean Sea make it ideal for sporting activities as well as its renowned professional teams. **KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**:

- Teaching assistants work alongside the class teacher to support the learning of the children. This may involve taking a small group aside for nurture or challenge activities linked to the learning objectives, or it could be one to one guidance of a particular child. On other occasions it may involve supervision and support of specialist classes, playtimes, or lunch duties. You will also help the class teacher with the preparation of resources, documenting students' learning and maintaining a safe, welcoming and stimulating learning environment. The role is varied and this list is by no means exhaustive. Indeed, the most important quality in our teaching assistants, alongside their dedication to supporting children to learn, is a willingness to help out where and when needed so as to maintain a great level of provision for our early learners. **THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE**:

- Recent experience in the education of children ages 2- 6

- An interest in pursuing - or have already begun - a path towards teacher qualification
