About us
Litherland High School is a vibrant and thriving community of wonderful children and fantastic, caring staff which we affectionately call our ‘Livo Family’.
Our school ethos is very much built around our dedication to the academic success of our children whilst maintaining outstanding pastoral care and support. Our staff know our children and families exceptionally well and in doing so, we develop strong relationships which underpin the achievement of our students. We take our role as a central part of the local community extremely seriously and we genuinely believe our school is unique in the strength of the bonds between staff and students.
Our school values are ‘Kindness, Integrity, and Tenacity’, and we endeavour to keep these values at the heart of our actions, and encourage our children to do the same.
We know that academic success is the key to a bright and exciting future for our children, and we have worked tirelessly to make sure that our academic and wider curriculum fully prepares our students to meet the challenges ahead. Our staff are 100% committed to supporting our children to achieve their potential and become the very best versions of themselves.
What are we looking for?
We are seeking three caring and dedicated Teaching Assistants to join our supportive team. We are looking for a compassionate and committed person to provide support to students. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in a child’s school experience. This will involve working with the teacher to plan and deliver activities and supporting the pupil with routines, transitions and behaviour management.
