Advert

Are you enthusiastic, creative and committed to helping children be the best people they can be?

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.
