Ospringe CE Primary School is looking to appoint two experienced, committed and enthusiastic teaching assistant to work within key stage 2 at our successful school.  Ideally you will have KS2 experience and a proven track record of outstanding classroom support.

At Ospringe CE Primary School individuals are valued and helped to achieve their personal best.  Children are supported in becoming confident and independent young people, who thrive on challenge, and are motivated to learn within a nurturing, supportive and friendly environment.

However, in the current climate this will be a telephone conversation with Mrs Amanda Ralph, the Headteacher or Mrs Alison Berrington, the SENCO. Please contact the school to make an appointment on 01795 532004.

At this stage it is uncertain as to the exact form the interviews will take; these will be held either remotely or face-to-face depending on Covid-19 guidance and advice at the time.
