We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to work one - to - one with a pupil as part of a team that are continually working together under the school motto of 'Love Jesus, Love Learning, Love Each Other.  This is a temporary position  working one to one with a pupil in school; working 5 days per week, 26.25 hrs per week.  The role starts  following completion of required Safer Recruitment checks including an Enhanced DBS clearance, ideally before the Easter break.  The role is directly linked to funding recieved for a specific pupil and will continue only while the funding remains or the pupil remains in at Holy Family School.

This role is ideal for an enthusiastic individual who can demonstrate a proactive willingness to learn and who is passionate about helping children to achieve their potential outcome; a strong team player with good time management skills who is willing to take direction from the class teacher and is capable of helping to develop resilient, confident pupils with a growth mindset. While applicants with experience are prefered, an applicant is not required to have Teaching Assistant experience but does need to demonstrate experience of working in a child-orientated learning environment.  

Applicants will be required to complete an English and Maths exercise as part of the interview process.

We would warmly invite you to visit our friendly school to allow you to appreciate our inclusive Catholic ethos and our beautiful grounds but unfortunately we are unable to do this during the current pandemic.  Please contact the school office on 01622 756778 should you require additional information.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school!
