Teaching Assistant job summary

Whether you have worked as a TA before or not, if you can demonstrate an understanding of children, a thirst for learning and an ability to rise above challenges (and importantly to celebrate successes together) then we would welcome you into our team.

You may have experience of working with children with SEND but this is not essential. The opportunity to join our team has arisen due to a need in EYFS and Key Stage 1, but we welcome applications from anyone who can offer something special to any of our children, and a willingness to work across school is essential.

• Is keen to develop their skills within a school setting
• Thrives as part of a happy, hard‑working team
• Shares our high expectations and commitment to doing the very best for every child
• Is willing to learn — training and support will be provided

At the heart of St Joseph’s is kindness. We are looking for someone who can embrace and model our values, contributing positively to our caring school community.

Why Join St Joseph’s?

• A supportive, joyful team
• A strong sense of community
• A commitment to professional development
• A chance to make a meaningful impact every day
