Pre-Prep Teaching Assistant

In September 2018 we will be opening a brand new Summer Fields Pre-Prep, catering for boys from Reception to Year 3. The school will be housed in Newton, one of the oldest and most historic buildings on the school’s site; this will be a state-of-the-art development and will provide purpose-built facilities for 80 boys aged from four to eight.  

We are seeking to appoint a Teaching Assistant (preferably with previous experience and qualifications) to work in the Pre-Prep. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of a class teacher but must demonstrate independence and a capability to take small groups of children, enthusiasm for teaching and working with children, and a commitment to the highest levels of teaching and learning for all pupils. 

Applicants must have strong communication skills, the ability to work as part of a small but cohesive team, and the skills to create a warm, welcoming and happy environment within the classroom and Pre-Prep.  

The post would also suit a graduate looking for school based experience before furthering their teaching career. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to lead or join the after-school programme and contribute to the extra-curricular activities programme.

Full details are available on our website: www.summerfields.com or from the HR Manager on 01865 459238. 

The closing date for applications is 10th May 2018.   

Summer Fields is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.  Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
