Job Description:
Are you patient, empathetic and looking for a new challenge?
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teaching assistant, committed to high-quality education and developing the best for every child. This is primarily to support a child with additional needs on a largely one-to-one basis and the position is linked to SEN funding. Previous experience of SEN is desirable, but not essential and training will be provided as required. Candidates must be patient, show empathy and stay calm under pressure. The successful applicant may be required to work in other classes and candidates should be passionate about supporting all children aged 3 to 11. We want to ensure that children enjoy all parts of school life, from interacting with friends and various learning experiences inside the classroom and outdoors. If you have experience in supporting children within a learning environment, we would love to hear from you.
We are looking for someone
* Passionate about supporting children to develop
* With empathy and compassion
* With patience and commitment
* Who is a team-player
* Interested in developing their skills
About us
Trinity Oaks provides high quality education supported by a caring ethos, with a focus on the individual child. We are a one-form entry primary school, also offering pre-school provision for children aged 3 and above. The school is now well-established within our local community and very popular.
Our support staff are an integral part of our staff team and we offer high quality professional development and opportunities for career progression. Successful candidates will be positive and highly motivated.
We can offer
* Term-time only hours
* Part-time opportunities
* Established, friendly and professional staff team
* A positive working environment
* Free access to an employee assistance programme
* A supportive and involved school community
Induction, support and training will be provided. An understanding and support of the school’s Christian ethos is essential.
Job details
* Salary: Surrey Pay 3. Full-time equivalent £24,330; Actual pro-rata based on 27.5 hours, 39 weeks a year: £15,987
* Hours: 27.5 hours a week 8.40-2.40pm Monday-Friday, with half hour unpaid break
* Location: Brookfield Drive, Horley, Surrey RH6 9NS
* Contract type: 27.5 hours a week, 39 weeks a year (term time + INSET days). Each day is 5.5 hours.
* Contract term: Temporary contract starting September 2025 (linked to funding)
We would like someone to start at the beginning of the academic year (1st September) or as soon as possible after that. This contract is linked to the funding of a child with additional needs, so is temporary in nature. It is likely it will be for the full 2025-26 academic year and possibly beyond that. Should the child move or the funding stop, we would aim to re-deploy the candidate, although we cannot guarantee that. Please have a look at the supporting job ad, job description and person specification for further information about the SEN Teaching Assistant position.
We are also looking for permanent positions at Trinity Oaks that could be worked alongside this, such as play workers for both Treetops after-school and breakfast clubs. Please see those specific ads for more details.
Please note that we reserve the right to invite candidates to interview prior to the closing date. We would, therefore, recommend that candidates submit applications as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Safeguarding Statement
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced-level check via the Disclosure & Barring Service will be required for the successful candidate. We will also conduct an online check of shortlisted applicants based on guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education. All applications must be made using the School’s application form. CVs will not be accepted.
