Join Our Team 

We are seeking a highly motivated, caring and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting children to achieve their full potential and making a positive difference in the lives of all pupils. 

The successful candidate will work across the schools, supporting teaching and learning in a range of classes from Reception to Year 6. The role will involve delivering targeted interventions, supporting pupils individually and in small groups, and providing additional support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). 

Please note that there are two Teaching Assistant positions available across our Federation. Successful candidates will be employed to work across both schools, supporting pupils and staff where the need is greatest. Whilst each postholder may spend the majority of their time based at one school, flexibility is essential as there may be occasions where support is required at either setting. This collaborative approach enables us to make the best use of staff expertise and ensure that all pupils across the Federation receive the support they need to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. 

We Are Looking For Someone Who: 

• Has experience of working with primary-aged children. 
• Has a good understanding of SEND and strategies to support pupils with a range of additional needs. 
• Can build positive, nurturing relationships with children, staff and families. 
• Is creative, adaptable and able to tailor learning activities to meet individual pupil needs. 
• Has experience of delivering interventions to support academic progress. 
• Can work effectively both independently and as part of a team. 
• Is committed to inclusion and helping every child achieve their very best. 
• Has excellent communication and organisational skills. 
• Demonstrates patience, resilience and a positive attitude. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Support teaching and learning across all classes within the school. 
• Deliver planned intervention programmes to individuals and small groups. 
• Support pupils with SEND to access learning and achieve their personal targets. 
• Adapt resources and activities to meet the needs of all learners. 
• Promote pupils' independence, confidence and wellbeing. 
• Work closely with teachers, the SENDCo and wider staff to monitor pupil progress. 
• Contribute to the creation of an inclusive and engaging learning environment.

We Can Offer: 

• Friendly, enthusiastic and well-behaved children who enjoy learning. 
• A supportive and welcoming staff team. 
• Opportunities for professional development and training. 
• A caring school community committed to inclusion and high achievement. 
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to children's educational experiences.
