  • Contribute towards the physical education of pupils, for example, swimming and PE.
  • Assist in aspects of recording pupil progress as directed by the class teacher and in line with school policy.
  • Assist in creating educational resources including classroom and whole school displays.
  • Accompany pupils on educational visits and journeys including sports events and community

  • Attend regular after school staff meetings and training.
  • Respect confidentiality of information on all pupils and their families.
  • Any other duties of similar nature or level as required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
