Do you have experience in supporting teaching and learning in a primary school? Are you an enthusiastic and compassionate individual who can show initiative and enjoys working with children? We are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to work with a high achieving and motivated child who requires adult support with some medical needs.

We are looking for the right person who will:

• Work in partnership with our Year 6 teaching team to support the child’s health needs
• Deliver high quality learning support to enable children to make accelerated progress across the Key Stage 2 curriculum
• Be organised, flexible and willing to use your initiative in order to meet children’s needs
• Have a positive outlook, with a good sense of humour and high expectations of our children.

We are looking for candidates who can support the positive caring ethos of our school and who have the qualifications, experience and willingness to form and sustain positive relationships with children and staff, and be flexible in their approach to meet our children’s needs.

Candidates should have the minimum qualifications of 5 GCSEs with a good pass including English and Maths, and/ or NVQ Level 3 or above. Candidates must have experience of supporting children in a primary school setting and experience of supporting children with medical needs would be beneficial although not essential as full training would be given.

Please make sure that your application reflects the full range of skills and experience which you would bring to the post, which would make you the ideal candidate.

As a school we will offer you:

• A supportive phase group team
• A learning community which values ideas, initiative, positivity and creativity
• A positive and friendly staff team who work together effectively to meet the needs of our children. 
• Full training to support the health needs of the pupil
• Well behaved children who love to learn!
• Opportunities for professional development consistent with your own aims and the needs of the child you will be supporting

The hours will be 8.45 to 3.00, Monday to Friday, term time only. The post is temporary for the academic year until August 2022.

Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

River Primary School is committed to safeguarding children. This post is subject to an enhanced disclosure application to the Disclosure and Barring Service and check against the ISA barred list for children.
