Charterhouse Square is a non-selective, co-educational independent school based in the City of London for students aged 3-11 years. The school has excellent transport links, with the Elizabeth line, Farringdon mainline and Barbican tube all within a 5‑minute walk. With a friendly and unpretentious approach, Charterhouse Square School offers education from Nursery and Early Years through to Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Teaching & Wrap Assistant to join our fantastic team.

Cognita is a global leader in independent education. Founded in 2004, we are a growing community of 100+ schools in 21 countries — in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East — serving more than 100,000 students. Each of our schools are proudly unique, however our collective purpose is to create an environment where everyone can, “Thrive in a rapidly evolving world”.

As a Teaching & Wrap Assistant, you will play a vital role in supporting the educational, physical, and social development of pupils in Key Stage 2. Working under the guidance of teaching staff and the Wrap Manager, you will help deliver engaging lessons and sports activities during the school day and provide a safe, stimulating environment for children in our After School Club. Your responsibilities will include assisting with learning activities, encouraging independence, and ensuring pupils’ wellbeing. This is a varied role where you will work both in classrooms and in wrap‑around care, making a positive impact on children aged 3–11.
