Would you like to join our aspirational, joyful school community, where senior leaders and staff share a passion and determination to unlock the potential in every pupil?
We are looking for an exceptional TA with BSL Level 2 to support a pupil with complex needs, whose primary mode of communication is British Sign Language. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A ROLLING JOB ADVERT AND WE WILL REVIEW APPLICATIONS AND INTERVIEW CANDIDATES AS APPLICATIONS ARE RECEIVED.
At Meadowfield, we work hard to ensure that all of our pupils make excellent progress, and we continually seek to improve the wellbeing of both pupils and staff. Now is an exciting time to join our outstanding school as we expand to better meet the demand for special school places in Swale. We are incredibly proud of our very recent Ofsted inspection (see the report on our profile page). Ofsted recognizes that relationships between our staff and pupils are exceptionally positive, and we are delighted that our pupils told inspectors they are very happy at the school and really enjoy their lessons.
We need a Teaching Assistant to work as part of a team of adults in each class. Some experience of working with pupils with special educational needs would be an advantage, though not essential, as training will be given. The successful candidate could be required to work anywhere across the school.
From all staff, we expect commitment to the school and a desire to improve and excel. Further information about the responsibilities of the role, and the criteria we will use to select candidates, can be found in the attached job description and person specification.
Salary: Kent Range 4 £21,389 - £22,493 fte (equates to £15,049 - £15,826 pro rata for 30 hours per week), plus an annual Special Needs Allowance £1,619 fte (equates to £1,313 pro rata).
Working Hours: 9:00 - 15:30 Monday to Friday, working five days a week (30 hours), term time only (39 weeks).
