Are you an outstanding, inspirational and creative individual looking for a new challenge? Drapers Mills Primary Academy in Margate is on a journey, a very exciting journey. We are looking to add to our already successful team who have taken the school out of Special Measures and are now building for the future. We would like you to join us on our travels to the world of ‘Good and Beyond’.

The executive headteacher has created a strong team in the academy that has changed it significantly. Ofsted (January 2016)

Drapers Mills Primary Academy is part of the Kemnal Academies Trust, which is one of the largest multi-academy trusts in the south of England; with over 40 primary and secondary schools in the TKAT family. This enables the school to offer excellent CPD and training opportunities and uses a highly effective coaching/mentoring approach to develop its staff. We believe in a culture of partnering for performance and work closely with other TKAT academies and Thanet schools.

Over time, leaders have worked to create an ethos of success and promise. Ofsted (January 2016).

We are looking for an experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistant to work alongside our teaching staff, giving support to the children in our care and, on occasion, taking whole class responsibility when needed.

The successful candidate will :

- have an excellent work ethic

- have high expectations
- be committed to providing a welcoming stimulating learning experience for all the children at our school
- be creative, imaginative and innovative
- resourceful, purposeful, resilient and well organised
- have effective behaviour management strategies
- have an understanding of assessment

- be at least NVQ level 3 qualified

- have at least a C pass in GCSE English and Maths

In the first instance, this will be a temporary position until the end of this academic year. However, this could become a more permanent position over time.

Previous experience supporting children in Primary School would be preferred but this may suit a Graduate looking for a pathway into teaching.

If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you to arrange a look around our school.

The school is now a happy and enabling place to be. Ofsted (January 2016)

The school is definitely on the way up. Ofsted (January 2016)
