We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic HLTA to join our happy and caring school. The post is initially until the end of July 2025, but with the possiblity of it being extended after this point. St Mary's CofE Junior School is a warm, friendly, supportive and exciting community to be part of. We are a fully inclusive school and value everyone in our community. Our school vision 'Care. Believe. Succeed' is at the heart of everything we do. This was also recognised during our last Ofsted in July 2022, where we received another 'Good' rating. The successful candidate will be reliable, enthusiastic and committed to children's learning. They must be able to demonstrate the ability to use their own initiative, have excellent behaviour management skills and a flexible approach to their work. The post holder must be prepared to regularly cover classes from Year 3-6 for 2 or 3 days per week, in addition to being responsible for the planning of some of these lessons. Do you think that you can make a real difference to children's outcomes, both academically and emotionally, whilst supporting our experienced teaching team? Experience with supporting learning in KS2 is desirable and those with other transferable skills and experience of working with similarly aged children will also be considered. We believe the best ambassadors for our school are our children and visits prior to application are warmly welcomed and actively encouraged. Please contact the school at adminst-marysjm-baldock.herts.sch.uk if you wish to discuss the post or arrange a visit. The school is committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment therefore all post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) application. We look forward to welcoming you to our school. Please note: only applications submitted through the Teach In Herts website or emailed directly to the school will be considered. Please use the application form provided; CV's will not be considered. In addition to the application form, candidates are required to also fill in the Person Specification Form.
