Located in the east of Portsmouth, The Langstone Junior Academy is proud of its caring ethos, promoting skills of resilience and reflection to enable deep thinking. The academy is a positive and active place to work and we are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to join our successful team of professional services staff.
