Chilton Primary School is looking for a new Senior Teaching Assistant to join our team. We have a skilled team of support staff, including four Senior TAs who play a vital part in supporting our children’s learning across the school.

The post is class based. Mornings are spent within classes, either delivering interventions or supporting class teachers within English and Maths lessons.

Additional training for specific interventions and teaching and learning strategies will be provided as appropriate. You must also be able to manage a whole class and demonstrate excellence in behaviour management. Planning for lessons is provided by class teachers but Senior Teaching Assistants are expected to follow our teaching and learning policy and feedback and marking policy.

You must also demonstrate:

• A passion for education and making a difference for children
• A commitment to our philosophy of ‘One Childhood, One Chance’
• The desire for continuous professional development
• Evidence of collaboration and team work
• An understanding of assessment for learning and feedback
• Knowledge and understanding of safeguarding policy and practices

We can offer you:

• In house training delivered across the Viking Academy Trust, particularly within your first year of employment
• Skilled and supportive colleagues
• 420 wonderful, enthusiastic children
• A well-resourced school
• An incredible team both at Chilton and Viking!
