What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a committed, flexible, reflective Teaching Assistant at Greenhill. You will be supporting a child 1:1 in class, under the direction of the class teacher.

We know that one size does not fit all; we know that children come to school from a whole range of environments; we know that adults (parents, carers, staff) come to school with different experiences; we know that there isn’t one way to be, one way to learn, one way to teach; and we know that working at our school can be rewarding, tough, fun and challenging.

We value relationships, support and have high expectations for our pupils and staff, so that we develop and fulfil our potential together.

Please state on your application form which phase you would have a preference for, KS1 or KS2.

Usual working hours are 8.30am – 3.30pm term time only.

This post is temporary until August 2025.

Closing date: Friday 6 December 2024 @ 10.00am

Interviews: Friday 13 December 2024

References – please note we will take up your references if you are shortlisted. Please make sure one referee is the head teacher from your current school or most recent school, and the second referee is not based in the same school.

Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon.
