Due to one of our TAs taking their maternity leave, and also the increasing number of children requesting places in our nursery, we would like to recruit further Teaching Assistance to support across our school Nursery Class and in Reception, we also have a TA maternity leave to cover in KS2.

Our staff team are passionate about ensuring all our pupils have the best start in life and we recognise as a school the importance of this for our all our children. Our successful candidate will play a key role in a team that is making this happen.

If “Yes!”, then maybe you are the someone we are seeking to add the following skills to our team.

• Have the drive and vision to make a difference to children’s outcomes.
• Have TA qualifications or equivalent or would like to work towards them.
• Have some understanding of special educational needs and are interested to know more.
• Are interested by children’s development and how they learn.
• Can see when a child needs support, perhaps before the child knows it themselves.
• Think of solutions rather than see problems.
• Could deliver learning 1:1 or to a small group, with support as needed to begin.
• Would like to become confident (with guidance at first) to lead a larger group.
• Love to read and share stories in a way that excites children.
• Model language and vocabulary naturally - verbally and in writing
• Communicate calmly and positively, without the need to raise their voice
• See behaviour as indicative of an unmet need, and then try to identify and meet it.
• Smile and patiently care enough to go those extra steps that make a difference.

You may have experience in role like this or be at the start of your career excited to begin; either way what is most important to us is the passion and dedication you would bring to the role and to our pupils.

Our school environment, our EYFS areas recently refurbished to a high standard, is inviting to work in; we benefit from ample indoor and substantial outdoor space too. There is a strong culture of CPD in the school, our successful applicant can expect to benefit from a range of experiences and development opportunities.
