We are looking for an experienced teaching assistant to complement our talented, committed and happy staff team. Ofsted rated our school ‘Good’ in February 2019.
Are you:
Keen to raise standards and always looking to move forward
Focussed on learning and achieving outstanding attitude and effort from pupils

Our school is in a small village in a delightful rural setting. We converted to Academy Status in June 2016. With a relatively new leadership team, we are starting the next phase of our journey with vigour and enthusiasm and are currently re-designing our Curriculum and developing staffing team.
You will need a good sense of humour and be a very flexible member of our small staff team. Working mainly in a mixed year 3-4 class, you will need to have good maths and English subject knowledge, be well organised and firm, but fun! We hope the post holder will be flexible to work across the Primary age range.
We can offer you a supportive environment with on-going CPD and a forward looking school. Applicants should state any experience they have, in teaching and any other work environment, their educational philosophy, what you could bring to the post and future aspirations.
Visits to the school are warmly invited and actively encouraged! Please telephone Mrs Lisa Good, School Secretary to make a suitable appointment on 01366 377205.
18 Hours (term time plus 1 week 39 weeks per year)
Grade D £8,185 - £8,349 per annum
You will need to work across Monday to Friday each week, and will be required to attend work during term time, plus an additional week to incorporate training days at the school.
Closing Date: Sunday 05 June 2022 8pm
Interview date: To be confirmed
If we receive sufficient applicants of a high calibre, we may bring the closing date forward.
Role Purpose
We hope to find an excellent teaching assistant with a successful track record and experience in Key stage 2 (whilst being flexible to work across the primary age range). The postholder will work mainly in class but there will be substantial amounts of time where you may be carrying out interventions or working 1-1 with pupils as needed.
Skills & Experience
Teaching Assistant
You will be qualified to Level 2 in English and Maths (GCSE A-C or equivalent) and previous similar experience would be an advantage. Full training and support is provided.

Following an inspection on the 8th and 9th January 2019, in our first inspection after becoming an Academy with Eastern Multi-Academy Trust, we received an Ofsted rating of "Good" in all areas.
We are very proud of our academy and what it has to offer the children who come here. Our mainly Victorian building has outstanding views out over the Fen from the playground, but has been modernised and extended over the years in order to provide excellent facilities to deliver the curriculum.
We actively promote the 'three Cs' of Care, Consideration and Courtesy and aim to create a ‘family’ atmosphere in which we learn to know and care for each other in a personal way that many larger schools cannot. Our dedicated therapy dogs, Phoebe and Chance, love getting involved in supporting the children’s mental wellbeing (especially when it means they get to be brushed or enjoy a nice head scratch!)
At Southery we are proud of our links with the local community. Over the past few years we have been able to work with local groups to provide opportunities for the children, including fundraising for the local church, care homes and the Queen Elizabeth hospital, as well as using the church as a venue for assemblies and events at Christmas and Easter.
The caring and happy environment we create enables children to fulfil their potential and grow in self-confidence, so that all children leave our academy well-prepared for the next stage in their educational journey.
About the Trust
We are proud to be part of the Eastern Multi-Academy Trust (EMAT), which consists of 13 primary schools and 1 secondary school across West Norfolk. As part of the Trust, we share their core values to Empower, Motivate, achieve and Transform our pupils. The trust seeks to offer mutual support from one academy to another, to develop shared learning and understanding, collaborate to achieve better outcomes, recognise unique qualities and differences, be positive and aspirational, focus on the successes of individuals and develop a culture of healthy competition.
