Are you able to inspire creativity in others? Do you have the determination and expectations to achieve excellence? Do you understand the importance of developing resilience? These three words are at the core of the vision and values of the school and underpin our exciting and child-led school curriculum.

At Bridge School, we believe that our children deserve the best education and opportunities available to them and, in order to provide this, our teaching assistants provide a vital role. 

We are looking for a dyanmic and enthusiastic individual who can support and inspire not just the children in the class but also their colleagues. The role is diverse from assisting teachers within the classroom to supporting small group or individual learning programmes.

We need:

• An individual who has the ability to enthuse and motivate children
• A commitment to the highest standards of learning
• Relevant and recent experience of working in a school
• An ability to communicate, work as part of a successful team, take on board advice, use your initiative and meet deadlines
• An individual who is organised, efficient and flexible in their approach
• A good level of English, maths and science (at least to Grade C GCSE/O level) and a willingness to further develop and widen your own skills 
• Proficiency in the use of ICT  
• Current knowledge of SEND is desirable

In return we can offer you:

• The chance to work as part of an excellent community;
• Pupils who show excellent behaviours for learning;
• High calibre colleagues with which you would learn with and from;
• Opportunities for professional development.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 3.30pm with a half-hour break for lunch (this equates to 32.5 hours a week)

The staff, children and parents are rightly proud of Bridge & Patrixbourne CEP School and we all work together to ensure that our children get the very best education. You could be part of our team.
