We are looking to appoint a dedicated and motivated teaching assistant for our Year 3 class. Experience in Key Stage 2 is desirable but not essential, and we would welcome applications from TAs wishing to further develop their skills in Lower Key Stage 2, who have experience in other Key Stages. This position involves supporting a range of abilities in small groups, carrying out interventions planned by our lovely class teacher, as well as supporting whole class activities. You would be supported by an experienced and talented team of teachers, Senior Leadership Team, and an established team of accomplished teaching assistants.
We offer:
* Fantastic children who were praised by OFSTED for their behaviour and attitudes to learning
* A school that is committed to the highest standards of inclusive teaching and learning
* A happy, vibrant working environment
* Opportunities to develop further skills through training (both external and internal)
* Possible progression into teaching for the right candidate
We are ideally looking for someone who:
* Has previous experience of working within Key Stage 2
* A good understanding of the national curriculum
* A good awareness of phonics or the willingness to further develop knowledge in this area
* Experience of using different interventions or the willingness to learn
* Necessary qualifications - ideally an NVQ L2/3 in child care
* An ability to communicate and work as part of a team
This is a part-time position for 27.5 hours a week during term time.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo an Enhanced DBS check.
