Teaching Assistant

We are looking for an enthusiastic Teaching Assistant, with a desire to be part of a collaborative school community supporting the academic and personal development of our pupils.

The post holder will work closely with the SENDCO and other colleagues to promote high standards of inclusion and learning opportunities.

The core purpose of this role is to:

• Plan and deliver interventions to small groups of students
• Work with class teachers to raise the learning and attainment of students
• Promote students’ independence, self-esteem and social inclusion

• Create structured activities that interest and motivate learners and advance their learning
• Liaise with parents/guardians where appropriate
• Communicate their knowledge and understanding of students so that informed decision making can take place on intervention and provision

What we offer:

• A positive and supportive working environment in which staff help each other to develop;
• The opportunity to work with enthusiastic and well-behaved students;
• A school which combines the excitement of a growing school with respect for work-life balance;
• A school culture which values both personal development and high academic expectations.
• We anticipate that you may be considering teaching as a further career option and would support your development towards such a goal.
