Learning Support Assistant wanted for our lovely school!
Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you able to nurture children so that they flourish? If so, Harrietsham Church of England Primary School could be the school for you.
A wonderful opportunity exists for an excellent LSA to become the latest member of our School Family.
We are looking for skilled, caring, enthusiastic individuals to join our excellent team. We are seeking an LSA to work Monday to Friday 8:30am, to 15:30pm, 32.5 hours a week, term time only, 38 weeks a year. This post is initially a temporary post, but there is the possibility of a permanent role as the school continues to grow.
Our children and staff are happy and fun-loving and our children have excellent learning behaviours. Together, our aim is to ensure that everyone reaches their full potential so that our entire school family can flourish in every aspect of their education and life journey.
The successful applicant will work alongside the class teachers, Inclusion Leader and Inclusion Assistant, supporting the additional needs of the children - this may be in groups of children or with individuals.
We are looking for people who have:
1. A passion to see every child fulfilling their potential.
2. A nurturing personality which reflects our nurturing ethos.
3. Effective time management and an ability to work on their own initiative.
4. Good organisational skills.
5. Strong communication skills.
6. The ability to contribute to, and work as part of, a team.
7. A positive attitude (a ready smile is a bonus!).
8. A commitment to their own professional and career development.
9. A good standard of written and spoken English.
10. GCSE Maths and English.
11. A willingness to get stuck in at lunchtimes, model high quality play and if necessary get a bit messy!
It is desirable, but not essential, to have experience of working with children as full training is available for those without school experience. Our staff development strategy means that any experienced learning support assistants who apply can indicate specialist areas that they wish to pursue.
