Description We have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly and caring school in the heart of the community of Heamoor. We are seeking to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who is eager to take on a rewarding role within our school. This is a full-time position with variable hours, and we have two vacancies available (to start on 1st September, 2025). As a member of the class team, you will work as a general Teaching Assistant and will also support children with additional needs. We are looking for someone who is creative, patient, and innovative—an individual who enjoys working collaboratively as part of a team but can also work independently when required. The ideal candidate will be a passionate and committed classroom practitioner with a calm, positive demeanour. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team are essential. We take pride in being a creative, nurturing, and supportive school where children are motivated to learn and where mutual respect between children and adults is at the heart of our community. If you are inspired by the opportunity to make a difference and thrive in a positive educational environment, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for: • A successful Teaching Assistant who is able to raise and sustain high standards; • A colleague who has excellent interpersonal skills with pupils, staff and parents; • A reflective practitioner with a sense of humour and a good understanding of emotional intelligence; • A person who can contribute to our dynamic and hard-working team; • An individual who has high standards and expectations of both themselves and others; • A practitioner who enthuses, inspires and motivates children; • A colleague who is well organised and flexible, able to prioritise and willing to work hard as part of our school team; • An individual who is supportive of and sympathetic to the ethos of the school; • A practitioner who is not afraid to do things differently and understands that inclusion is not everyone doing the same thing at the same time in the same way. We can offer: • A supportive school; one where children are put firmly at the heart of everything we do; • A chance to thrive in an ambitious school, working in partnership with a Headteacher who is passionate and determined to continue the school’s journey to excellence; • A friendly and supportive team dedicated to rapid school improvement and enjoyment of school life; • Motivated and happy children who are keen to learn and are enthusiastic about school; • A warm, friendly, caring working environment with dynamic, interested and enthused staff; • Ongoing development opportunities to challenge and support you professionally; • Genuine value and support of staff well-being.
