The role: Northwood College is seeking an enthusiastic, caring and committed Teaching Assistant to play a key supporting role by encouraging our EYFS, KS1 and KS2 pupils in their learning and acquisition of skills. This provides a wonderful opportunity to join our outstanding and inclusive team (ISI Inspection 2021) at NWC. You will hold an NVQ Level 3/NNEB qualification or the equivalent. Commitment to the wider school life is expected. This is a zero-hours contract, and you will be called upon for planned TA cover across the Junior school or for any unplanned absences as they arise. We understand that you may not be available on all occasions, but the school is happy to work with your availability. Please note that this is not a permanent contracted position within the school, but we can maintain high standards across our school if we utilise cover staff who know our pupils and systems. It also supports us in our commitment to the safeguarding of pupils to engage with those who are known to our school. About the Junior School: Set in a vibrant environment that simply buzzes with dynamic energy, excitement, curiosity and the sense of discovery, the Junior School constitutes an academically rigorous, inspirational and all-rounded education in itself, as well as providing the important bridge to our highly academic Senior School. In our last ISI inspection it was noted that “Pupils are excellent communicators and very articulate. They develop a wide vocabulary from a young age, become accomplished readers, speak and write well and readily apply these skills to all other areas of their learning. They are adept in debate and discussion, expressing their opinions and reasoning clearly”. We believe, with a passion, that every day at NWC should be a fulfilling and enriching experience within a happy, vibrant and considerate community. We are an inclusive school and actively welcome and encourage applications from all. The Junior School mantra is all are welcome here.
