We are seeking to appoint two Teaching Assistants with additional Midday Supervisor responsibilities to join our school family and work with our experienced staff, our well-behaved and enthusiastic children and their supportive parents.
Your working hours would be Monday to Friday, term time only plus Inset Days, 8:40am to 3:10pm with an unpaid 30-minute break for lunch, 30 hours per week. As well as providing support in class you will also be responsible for assisting our lunch time team to support our children during lunch time.
An existing Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) qualification or an interest to train for one is desirable. There is the opportunity to support with learning across the School and training for this can be provided.
Beechcroft St Paul’s is a popular school situated in an urban part of Weymouth. It opened 26 years ago as a purpose-built infant school. In 2003 it became a Church of England Primary School and over the years the school building has been extended including provision for Foundation 1 children in Eden. In August 2017 we joined DSAT as part of the Weymouth Bay Hub.
Beechcroft St Paul’s is a family and the special atmosphere in the school is often commented upon. Staff and governors work hard to ensure the very best educational opportunities for every child as a unique individual. Our Christian ethos is important to us and we have excellent links with our local church, St Paul’s, and the wider community. This was a key finding of our SIAMs inspection in 2021.
As part of our learning community you will benefit from:
1. Welcoming and compassionate environment with strong support from the leadership team.
2. A fully mapped out curriculum which engages pupils in learning and enhances their self-belief in what they can achieve.
3. Enthusiastic and inspiring children.
4. A commitment to high quality, collegiate professional development working in partnership within a forward-looking and expanding network of schools.
5. Access to staff benefits and a family approach.
