Advert

Are you enthusiastic, creative and committed to helping children be the best people they can be? Do you have the patience of a saint, boundless energy and the desire to actively seek the lighter side of life? If so, we could be the team for you! We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, caring, positive and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our team.

The ideal candidate will have good subject knowledge and secure skills in reading, writing and maths (  GCSE grade C or above in English and Maths) and will ideally have experience of working with the children of primary school age (5-11 years old). We are an inclusive school and applications from candidates with experience of supporting children with additional needs are welcomed.

If you like to dress up, join in with trips, laugh out loud and get stuck in with anything ranging from shaving foam pictures to playing in the woods, then we have lots to offer you!

This is a term time only role 8.30 a.m. – 3:15 p.m. starting in September 2023, however there is an opportunity for an earlier start if this is desirable. 

Interviews: TBC

We reserve the right to interview candidates upon receipt of application during the advertisement window. Candidates are therefore encouraged to apply at their earliest convenience.

Information about the school

Orchard Academy Trust is a multi-academy trust consisting of two large, successful primary schools in Maidstone - Allington Primary School and Barming Pre-School and Primary School.

Our schools act as beacons of learning for children and adults alike, inspiring self-development and nurturing growth with fun and enjoyment. This is not a one size fits all trust; we recognise that our schools have their own identities and needs. Each school has their own Headteacher and autonomy to foster individuality, together with the advantage of working as a team to provide school to school support and share excellence across the Trust.

Orchard Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants for this post will be subject to a DBS check and successful references prior to a start date. Please read the schools' Child Protection Policy which can be found in the documents below. We reserve the right to interview and appoint, prior to the advertised closing date.
