"Creating opportunities for everyone"

At Phoenix Community Primary School we believe that learning is all about taking opportunities and we are looking for a Teaching Assistant to join our staff team.

We are looking for someone who has a good understanding of children's needs, both pastoral and educational, and is able to work as part of a team. Experience of nurture groups or other pastoral provision to develop social and emotional wellbeing would be preferable such as lego therapy, sensory circuits, drawing and talking or social stories.

This position would be to both support pupils within a class and to provide specific pastoral provision to small groups or individuals with additional needs with flexibility between these two roles being important.

The successful candidate(s) will be expected to work five days a week, 8.30am to 3.15pm although part-time may be considered for exceptional candidates.

You are welcomed and encouraged to call the school office to make an appointment to visit the school. Please apply using the online application form.

Phoenix Community Primary School is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of its pupils and any offer of employment is subject to the necessary enhanced DBS checks.

Information about the school

Phoenix Community Primary School is a one-form entry school situated on the outskirts of Ashford. We benefit from extensive grounds and a well set out modern building. The school is well-resourced and, as such, is able to provide opportunities for children significantly beyond that of the National Curriculum. The majority of visitors comment on the warm, friendly atmosphere and the attractive environment.

As a member of the CARE Foundation Trust, we work closely with nine other primary schools in our local area. The school places a high emphasis on the Creative Arts. We have our own Music Studio where all children have weekly lessons with specialist music teachers and where subsidised instrument lessons are offered to pupils.

The school invests heavily in ICT with three sets of 32 iPads, which are used on a daily basis, and each classroom is fitted with a Clever Touch interactive TV. Pupils also receive specialist sports and computing teaching and our school supports the emotional well-being of pupils with structured pastoral provision. At Phoenix, we pride ourselves in being a welcoming and safe environment for all of our community: pupils, parents, wider family, staff and visitors as well as a school that is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of its pupils.
