Information about the post.
Hope View School are seeking to appoint full time teaching assistants at our Lower School site in Chartham, for September 2024. Experience of working as a teaching assistant within schools would be advantageous. Own transport is essential as the site is in a rural location without access to public transport.
Experience of working with pupils with Special Educational Needs would be an advantage but is not essential. Willingness to work within a small team and an organised but flexible approach is crucial. High standards of classroom management, professionalism and expectations of pupils are also required as is the ability to be empathetic, understanding and supportive of pupils and their needs. This position would be ideal for a dynamic, hard-working and committment individual looking to build a career in this sector.
Company pension scheme, up to 16 weeks holiday a year, staff rewards schemes, access to CPD and uniform are all part of the package.
