Teaching Assistant/Primary Extra Time Assistant

We are looking to appoint an experienced and qualified Teaching Assistant/Primary Extra Time Assistant to join our dedicated Primary team.

At Derby High, a teaching assistant works alongside the classroom teacher, providing support and reinforcement through working with individual pupils or small groups of pupils. The objective of this role is to maximise the functioning of each pupil under the direction of the teacher.

Primary Extra Time is our after school club catering for pupils from Preschool to Year 6. It is a popular club and provides the opportunity for pupils to take part in activities and games. Primary Extra Time runs daily from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

Derby High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to undergo checks appropriate to the post including identity, right to work in the UK and will be subject to an enhanced criminal records check. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (as amended) and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) to assess their suitability to work with children.
