The children, staff and governors are looking to appoint a Higher Level Teaching Assistant from 10/11/25. We are a friendly, one form entry primary school from FS to Y6 and we were judged to be 'good' in June 2023 by Ofsted. We are an oversubscribed school in the Norton area of Sheffield (South West) and we are seeking to appoint a dedicated, caring practitioner to provide bespoke support for some of our children and occasionally cover PPA. The days of work will be Monday to Friday for 30 hours per week. Hours can be negotiated for the right person, to fit with you. The contract will start from 1/11/25 and there will be a transition period in the first week. This is a permanent position. There will be opportunities for additional work occasionally (in other year groups) if you would like to but this is not essential.
We are a strong, happy team and encourage those with a sense of humour and a sense of perspective to apply. It is a lovely school to be a part of.
