What skills and experience we're looking for

Hob Moor Oaks Primary Academy is a special school within the Ebor Academy Trust. We are looking to recruit and dedicated and hardworking Teaching Assistant to join our team on a casual basis. Although this is a temporary and casual position there is potential for the right candidate to continue working for us on a permanent basis. The working day will be 8.30am – 4.00pm, Monday – Friday during the school term time.

As a Teaching Assistant you will be passionate about teaching and learning and believe in developing the true potential of children. You will have a calm and positive disposition, the ability to break down activities into small step by step teaching and will nurture, inspire, challenge and motivate pupils. Implementing clear boundaries and routines, you will use positive behaviour management in all areas around school.

We wish to recruit a highly committed Teaching Assistant who has knowledge and experience of working with children who have special educational needs.

Within this role you will also be working with and alongside a wide range of different professions all with the goal of ensuring the best care and education is given to our children.

Good, clear and effective communication will play a key role in this position as you will need to work with and alongside the child, their family and other members of staff.

You will have positive behaviour management skills, and be flexible and able to work on your own initiative.

You should have experience of working with children who have profound and multiple learning disabilities or Autism, ideally, but not necessarily in an educational setting. A relevant qualification would also be welcomed.

You will be enthusiastic and passionate about child development, play and interaction with knowledge on how you can develop this further to enhance children’s experiences.

We also offer significant discounts on many high street shops, online retailers and travel agents, not to mention free car parking at all our schools, an enviable pension scheme, sick pay and family friendly policies.
