Teaching Assistant Level 3

As the largest primary school in the country, we are excited to be recruiting for a variety of roles to meet the needs of our rapid expansion. Following on from our recent successful Ofsted judgement (February 2015) we are seeking ambitious values driven professionals who are willing to work with us in our expansion and support us in driving forward the agenda for social equality and excellent provision for our children.

Claycots Town Hall Campus is looking to recruit an experienced teaching assistant to work within the Inclusion team. Reporting to the SENCO, you would be responsible for delivering support to children within a specific phase. Working alongside the class teacher, you would work with small groups of children in class. You would also deliver small group interventions outside the classroom and be responsible for supporting the pastoral care of the children within the year group.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working with children in a school setting and a proven track record of having a positive impact on children’s progress and attainment. A good understanding of how to support children’s learning is essential.

Candidates should hold an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools or be working towards this. During the selection process, you would need to demonstrate a good level of written and spoken English and functional Maths skills in order to support children up to the age of 11. GCSE Grade C in English and Maths are desirable.
