Job overview

Robert Clack Primary School is looking to recruit a Teaching Assistant who is passionate about developing young minds, providing play based learning opportunities and creating an immersive learning environment where our pupils can flourish. We are a small, friendly and supportive team in a new primary school, which opened in September 2021. In September 2024, we will have pupils attending Reception, Year 1, 2 and 3 only, so some experience of working with Early Years and Key Stage 1 or early Key Stage 2 pupils is desirable.

 

Please note that this post may, at times, involve working one-to-one with allocated pupils who have SEND. However, depending on service need and the ongoing growth of the school, the job role may also involve being allocated to a class at any time to provide general class Teaching Assistant support. We therefore expect applicants to be flexible and willing to be either class-based or to provide small intervention group or one-to-one work with individual pupils.

 

The person we require will:

  • Have successful previous experience of working with children.
  • Have clear knowledge and understanding of the principles of child development and learning processes within either EYFS and/or Key Stage 1 or 2.
  • Be supportive, nurturing and understanding with high expectations.
  • Seek to make learning exciting and a positive experience.
  • Communicate well with parents, carers and members of staff, as well as pupils.
  • Demonstrate good communication skills both orally and written.
  • Have a good standard of literacy and numeracy.
  • Have NVQ2 for Teaching Assistants (or equivalent) or be willing to work towards the qualification.
  • Work well as part of a team.
  • Be extremely patient, adaptable, flexible and willing to listen.
  • Be willing to support pupils with basic hygiene needs and support them towards gaining independence.

We can offer:

  • A supportive working culture that values staff at all levels and invests in people.
  • Working with the teaching and support staff as part of a team.
  • Opportunities to continue your own professional development.
  • A dynamic working environment.

About Robert Clack School of Science

Robert Clack School is immensely proud of its excellent reputation in providing the highest quality education to its pupils.  We are committed to delivering a broad and balanced education, one which appreciates the importance of academic qualifications, but one which also recognises the value of vocational qualifications and the extra-curricular of sport, drama, music, the arts and debate.  Despite the considerable achievements to date, Robert Clack School is committed to continually seek ways to improve and develop its facilities and challenge our pupils.  We are determined to deliver the very best education for our pupils, one which will equip them with the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary to fulfil their potential and make a valuable contribution to society.

Robert Clack School is located in the Borough of Barking and Dagenham and is named after Alderman Robert Clack, who served as Mayor of the Borough of Dagenham, as it was then known, between 1940 – 1942.  He was a champion for social justice and equal opportunity.  He worked tirelessly to advance the cause of the people of Dagenham and had great faith in them.  At Robert Clack School, we have faith in our pupils and believe that they have the potential to be as successful as pupils anywhere in the country.  The values by which Alderman Clack lived his life are the values that permeate the daily ethos of the school, the values of mutual respect, compassion, discipline, high expectations and aspirations, and hard work.

In September 2021, our Primary School opened and we became an all-through school. We are continuing to expand each academic year until our Primary School is full from Reception to Year 6.
