We are seeking an inspiring and enthusiastic teaching assistant who is committed to providing a transformative education for our children.
You will be:
1. A professional, caring individual who has the ability to enthuse and motivate children.
2. Committed to achieving the highest standards of learning.
3. Able to communicate, work as part of a successful team, take on board advice and use initiative.
4. Organised, efficient and flexible in your approach.
5. Willing to further develop and widen your own skills.
Previous experience of the knowledge and skills for the role is desirable although not essential; a sense of enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and a professional outlook is key. All staff receive a full induction, and if you join us without prior experience, we will support you with additional training in your first 6 weeks with us.
The role will involve assisting the class teacher in a range of duties to support pupils to make progress on targeted areas. You will be working with students who require support to understand concepts and express their ideas both verbally and in writing. By working closely with our learners you will be rewarded daily by seeing the impact of your support and the progress they are making. You may also be asked to provide ad-hoc support to other pupils in the classroom.
You will provide playground supervision as needed during break-time and lunchtime. The role may occasionally require intimate care support.
We can offer some flexibility in working hours, with support required from 9:15-12:45. This role is a term time only, initially a fixed term contract until 31/08/26. We would like the suitable candidate to start as soon as possible and may contact candidates as applications are submitted.
The applicant should have a minimum of GCSE Grade C in English and Maths, or equivalent, and have good verbal and written skills.
