Advert

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.

We are looking for two Teaching Assistants who can support and inspire not just the children in the class but also their colleagues. These roles would initially be in Key Stage 2 although flexibility in future years is desirable.

We would particularly be interested in hearing from anyone who has experience and could lead our school choir (this will attract an additional payment) although this is not essential.

Hours would be either 8.45am - 3.15pm (30 hours) or 8.45am - 1.15pm (22.5 hours). Please indicate on your application which role you would be interested in.

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.

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:

  • A superb environment in which to work;
  • Pupils who show excellent behaviours for learning;
  • High calibre colleagues with which you would learn with and from;
  • Opportunities for professional development;
  • A staff-room which always seems to have cake;

And most importantly:

  • Pritt-sticks (real ones, not those fake ones from the Kent catalogue!)

We would welcome applicants to contact the school to arrange a viewing with a member of our Senior Leadership Team.

Our school and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
