Higher Level Teaching 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.
Our school is growing, and with a new Senior Leadership team in place, a wonderful opportunity exists for an excellent HLTA 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 a HLTA 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 a permanent post.
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 with teachers, as part of a professional team, to organise, supervise and support teaching and learning activities for pupils, including whole classes.
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 and under pressure.
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. Experience of working in a school environment with children.
12. A willingness to get stuck in, model high quality play and if necessary get a bit messy!
It is desirable, but not essential, to have prior experience of working as a HLTA as full training is available. Our staff development strategy means that any experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistants who apply can indicate specialist areas that they wish to pursue.
