Prep School Teaching Assistant

We are Framlingham College Prep School, a co-educational day and boarding school (2 – 13) found in the most outstanding rural location in Suffolk. Lots of schools say such a thing, but it would be a challenge to find a more picturesque rural setting for children to grow up in. We are set on a historic estate in the countryside a few miles away from Framlingham College Senior School, so we look and feel like a stand-alone independent prep school, but we are a through school to Framlingham College Senior School.

We are known as a school which adapts and responds to the individual child. We accept them for who they are, find out what makes them tick and encourage them to try new things, be ambitious, and find their passions.

The education on offer here is outstanding and requires energy and optimism from our staff. It is a friendly and stimulating environment to work in within a supportive community.

We require a hardworking and proactive Teaching Assistant to support teaching and learning within the classroom. This role involves working closely with a class teacher to support pupils’ learning and contribute to the smooth running of a busy and engaging classroom environment. The position may be offered either full time or part time (up to 0.8 FTE) depending on the successful candidate and the needs of the school. The role may be based either in Pre-Prep (Reception–Year 2) or Lower Prep (Year 3–Year 6).

We offer extensive ongoing CPD opportunities and a highly supportive working environment. Other benefits include a free lunch each day during term time plus complimentary membership of our on-site Sports Centre.

Please submit a cover letter outlining your suitability for the role together with an application form. Applications are also welcomed from candidates with Learning Support Assistant (LSA) experience or qualifications, as opportunities may arise within our Learning Support departments. Recruitment packs are available from the HR Department on 01728 723789, email: hr@framlinghamcollege.co.uk

If you have a disability or long term illness that otherwise prevents you from meeting any of the essential criteria listed in the person specification, please contact us to discuss whether a reasonable adjustment can be made. We welcome all applicants especially from independent thinkers, creative minds and inspirational people and very much look forward to receiving your application
