Kemsing is a thriving village primary school and a super place to work, where relationships, at all levels, are paramount. We have a great staff team and our pupils really engage in their learning and care deeply about THEIR school.

We are seeking to appoint a teaching assistant who can work in support of a child with an EHCP for additional needs in cognition and learning.

The contract is until the end of February 2021, but as long as the pupil remains in school, could be renewed further.

The minimum we require for this role is 25 hours per week, but for a suitably qualified candidate, we may consider a full time post of 28.75 hours per week. A willingness to work up to 5 additional hours at lunchtimes would also be very welcome. A job share for this role would also be considered if there were two suitable part time candidates.

We welcome applications from candidates with relevant experience (paid or voluntary) of working with children.

We can offer you the support of experienced, enthusiastic staff; considerate and respectful pupils and opportunities for ongoing professional development.

Kemsing Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Successful applicants will be required to undertake a criminal record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

We reserve the right to interview and offer the job to an exceptionally strong candidate prior to the closing date.

We welcome you to visit us via Zoom to find out more about our school and the role in particular. Please email the school office to arrange a visit.

Information about the school

Kemsing Primary School is a charming village school nestled at the foot of the stunning North Downs, just a 10-minute drive from the bustling commuter town of Sevenoaks. Established in 1885, our school boasts a rich history, although our facilities have been modernised to meet the needs of today’s learners.

As a one-form entry school with a current roll of 175 pupils, we are proud to serve as a central part of our vibrant local community. We maintain strong ties with the local parish church, where we celebrate key events such as Easter, Harvest, and Christmas with services for our children and their families.

Our active PTA plays a vital role in fostering community spirit and enhancing school life, organising a wide range of events from the popular village summer fête to quiz nights and comedy evenings. Their efforts have supported significant projects, such as the redevelopment of our much-loved swimming pool facilities and other school improvements.

The school is further supported by a dedicated governing body with a diverse range of expertise. Recent initiatives include the redesign of our eco-friendly wildlife pond and garden, as well as the creation of a fabulous school library to inspire and support our children’s learning.

We believe in fostering a strong partnership between school and parents, working closely to ensure the best outcomes for every child. At Kemsing Primary, every child is valued as an individual. We set high expectations and are committed to helping all our children excel and reach their full potential.

Our welcoming and happy atmosphere, combined with a commitment to excellence and enjoyment, is underpinned by the hard work and dedication of our talented staff team, who create a nurturing yet challenging environment for our young learners.
