Advert

We are seeking a Teaching Assistant to provide 1:1 support to an individual child who will be joining one of our Reception classes in September. You will join our Foundation stage team on a 1 year temporary contract for 27.5 hours per week.

Your working hours will be 8:45am to 3:15pm, with one hour for lunch (unpaid), Monday to Friday, term time only.

You will be required to predominantly perform the role of a key worker for an individual child with emotional and behavioural needs which are linked to attachment difficulties. As part of your role you will also be required to work with smaller groups of other children within the year group on a range of tasks which will be directed by the class teacher. We can offer you supportive colleagues and varied, interesting days within our foundation stage classes.

In order to be successful in this position, experience of working with children with emotional needs and behaviour difficulties would be beneficial as would any experience or training in therapeutic approaches to supporting a pupil’s well being. We are looking for someone who is willing to work in partnership with parents as well as staff in the school to support the emotional wellbeing of an individual child.

A Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification would be an advantage.

Information about the school

Welcome to Godinton Primary School.

When you step inside our school, you will find an exciting environment of creativity and discovery, where children’s natural curiosity is stimulated and their capacity to learn is nurtured. We are very proud of our ethos, which provides a supportive, family atmosphere with an emphasis on ensuring that our children are happy and confident individuals who love coming to school.

At Godinton Primary School, our team works hard to provide every child with a well-rounded education, enabling them to reach their full potential and succeed wherever their strengths and skills may lie. We strive for academic excellence in our pupils but believe that this should be delivered alongside an enriching and creative curriculum.

We enjoy stand-alone Academy status and have been graded as GOOD by Ofsted at our last inspection (Feb 2024).

Tucked safely away on the Godinton Park Estate, its only when you step within the school gate that you can fully appreciate the school’s privileged outside space.

Our school grounds are both extensive and beautiful, stretching around the entire building and providing a wonderful natural backdrop. Children at Godinton benefit from vast playing fields, adventure play areas, two playgrounds and a thriving wildlife garden and environmental area. A broad area of woodland, also within the grounds, provides an inspiring space for curriculum enrichment, as a stimulus for poetry or creative writing or as the location for scientific nature trails.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school, where you can see for yourself what a special place Godinton Primary School is.

Miss Jill Talbot

Headteacher
