The governors and school leadership team are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, hardworking and reliable higher-level teaching assistant who is keen to help maintain the expectations of an outstanding school where we aim high together. We need a candidate who can balance a drive for high attainment for all pupils with a commitment to pupils’ personal development and well-being.

Although not essential, we would welcome applicants who have an interest in any aspect of the Arts (for example, fine art, music or performing arts). The person appointed will have the ability to build excellent nurturing relationships with children and purposefully help them move forward with their learning. The successful candidate should be keen to co-operate with current staff and able to work under instruction as well as having the ability to use initiative. Competency with reading and mathematics to Year 6 level and basic ICT skills are important for the role too. The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate effective behaviour management strategies, understand the primary curriculum and have the ability to ensure outstanding achievement. Part of the role will include one after school club per week which finishes at 4:30pm and pastoral support for part of two of the pupils’ lunchtimes. The four days worked per week will be agreed by mutual consent with the successful candidate. We can offer you:
• Children who love learning and want to achieve
• High quality CPD opportunities in school and across our home-grown, friendly multi-academy trust
• A well-resourced, attractive and stimulating working and learning environment
