Are you looking for a rewarding role that fits perfectly around your morning commitments? Scole is looking for an enthusiastic and caring Teaching Assistant to join our small, friendly school community.
Because we are a smaller school, we pride ourselves on knowing every child. You won’t just be a staff member; you’ll be a vital part of our school family, helping our pupils thrive in a supportive and creative environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
Your afternoons will be varied and impactful, focusing on both general classroom assistance and targeted support:
- Targeted Interventions: Delivering structured 1:1 or small group interventions in Literacy and Numeracy to help close attainment gaps as well as focused provision for children with SEN
- In-Class Support: Working alongside the Class Teacher to ensure all children can access the afternoon curriculum (Art, Science, PE, etc.).
- Progress Tracking: Monitoring student responses during interventions and providing feedback to the teacher to help shape future planning.
- Resource Preparation: Creating bespoke learning aids to support children with specific learning needs (SEND).
- Social & Emotional Support: building relationships and supporting children to regulate and focus
Why Choose Us?
- A Warm Welcome: We are a small, supportive team where everyone’s contribution is valued.
- Well-Behaved Pupils: Our children are curious, kind, and eager to learn.
- Professional Growth: Being part of a bigger team working with our partner schools in Diss
- Work-Life Balance: Perfect for those seeking meaningful work without a full-time commitment.
Working Hours
The successful candidate will work Monday - Friday, 1.00pm - 3.15pm
Visits to the school are warmly welcomed. Please contact the school office to book an appointment 01379 642675 - scole@dissandscole.stbenets.org
