We are looking for an outstanding, qualified, and enthusiastic teaching assistant to join our junior school. This role will work across Early Years and KS1 on a fixed term contract, working term time only (35 weeks).
The junior school is an integral part of the larger school and is located in a spacious woodland setting with its own purpose-built facilities and play areas. There is a nurturing and encouraging approach to each child's development whilst ensuring appropriate academic rigour and monitoring of progress. Through a broad and forward-looking curriculum, we aim to embed creative and independent learning as an intrinsic part of the curriculum.
The successful candidate will have a relevant Early Years Educator (EYE) level 3 qualification (or equivalent) or be studying towards one with experience of working with children across the age range 2 ½ to 7 years. They will have a contagious enthusiasm and a genuine love of working with children, able to see the potential in every child. A willingness to contribute to the co-curricular and pastoral life of the school is essential. In return you can expect all the benefits of a thriving independent school: a competitive salary, pension, professional development, cycle scheme, lunches in term time and free parking.
