What skills and experience we're looking for
We wish to appoint an enthusiastic, experienced and highly motivated teaching assistant to join our outstanding staff team. A Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) qualification would be an advantage but is not essential. We have a friendly, supportive and dynamic team of staff who are dedicated to making learning challenging, exciting, infectious and fun. We are a compassionate school dedicated to meeting the needs of all pupils and committed to the welfare of our staff. We continually build towards our vision of “Growing together in wisdom and love; discovering life in all its fullness.
This post is based in KS1, working alongside the class teacher. If the successful application has a HLTA qualification, there may be the opportunity to cover some PPA away but this is not integral to the role.
We wish to appoint someone who:
- Is an excellent team worker;
- Is passionate about learning and working with children of all ages and supporting them to achieve their best;
- Can build positive relationships and relate well to a wide range of children and adults;
- Can support our values of respect, kindness, courage, creativity and love and is sympathetic to our Christian foundation.
