We are seeking a Teaching Assistant to work in KS1 and KS2 at King's Farm Primary School.  The position will be for 32.5 hours per week over 5 days during term time.  The contract is fixed term for one year.

We aim to ensure that King's Farm Primary School is a great place to work and we offer benefits such as a free counselling service, funded staff lunches, additional hours as required, a strong focus on developing people and professional development and bacon sandwiches on a Friday!
