1:1 Teaching Assistant job summary

We are seeking to appoint a 1:1 Learning Assistant to join our school family and work with our experienced staff, our well behaved and enthusiastic children and their supportive parents. This would involve supporting children across EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

The role would require you to work term time only (plus Inset Days), Monday to Friday 8.40am to 3.10pm with an unpaid 45 minute break for lunch. It is a Fixed Term role tied to funding received for a child, which we anticipate to end in July 2024 but may be extended.

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.

Eden has developed into a thriving setting with 24 children in most sessions and a growing waiting list. The Eden staff and children work closely with our reception class as part of a foundation unit and is led by our experienced EYFS lead, who teaches our reception class.

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, please see just some of the comments made by the SIAMs inspector below.
