Family Support Worker job summary
“Pupils know how to communicate any worries to a trusted adult. Staff listen.” (Ofsted)
We invite you to come and join our strong support team in our popular and over-subscribed primary school. As a Family Support Worker you will also be a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, you will support our disadvantaged and vulnerable children and families, providing emotional and practical guidance. You will share our passion for making a difference in our children’s lives. Our sense of community is essential; staff, pupils and parents speak warmly of ‘our TLAP family’.
Children in our school are confident, resilient and ambitious learners. They strive to be ‘the best they can be!’ This is enhanced by our unique focus on museum learning, giving pupils a rich range of experiences, both in the classroom and on trips and visits, that bring the curriculum to life.
Through an array of engaging activities, we empower each child to thrive and become well- rounded individuals:
Museum Learning Team - provide ideas and resources to support lesson delivery. For example, we don’t just learn about archaeology, we conduct our own excavations
On-site Exhibitions - use our artefacts from the past to broaden our understanding of people and places
Off-site Trips - takes our learning outside the classroom to bring teaching to life
Community Initiatives - instil a strong sense of purpose and belonging

Pupils enjoy the ‘museum learning’ approach to finding out more. They are curious, ask questions and learn well from experts, experiences and artefacts. This may be from the objects which are on display, such as an Olympic torch, to Reception children experiencing ‘sand between their toes’ with a trip to a lido before learning about the seaside.
