Advert

We are seeking to appoint an experienced teaching assistant to join our Early Years team, to support the reception class for two days a week (Mondays and Tuesdays – 8:45 am – 3:15 pm). The applicant should have a good understanding of child development and of how children grow and learn and be able to enthuse, engage and challenge children in their learning journey.  

The successful candidate will be required to set up learning areas, lead small groups and support children with learning needs as well as occasionally being responsible for the whole class. They would also need to be flexible and enthusiastic with a positive attitude and work well as a team member.

We can offer you a school with a great ethos and family feel, a fantastic environment in which to work (we are situated in the beautiful Elham Valley), a wonderfully friendly, professional group of colleagues who always go the extra mile for their pupils, regular CPD opportunities and good resources. You will be working with a group of very supportive colleagues who work brilliantly together as a team and are passionate and enthusiastic. Our last Ofsted Inspection was in October 2019. We were judged to be Good and to have made sufficient progress to be inspected again with a potential for Outstanding.
