Teaching Assistant

 Fixed Term contract whilst named child is in attendance at Claycots School 

25 hours per week, term time only

As the largest primary school in the country, we are excited to be recruiting for a variety of roles to meet the needs of our rapid expansion. Following on from our recent successful Ofsted judgement (February 2015) we are seeking ambitious values driven professionals who are willing to work with us in our expansion and support us in driving forward the agenda for social equality and excellent provision for our children. We require three Teaching Assistants to join our team on our Town Hall Campus.

We are looking to recruit Teaching Assistants to support children with additional needs. The majority of your time would be spent with a named pupil but you would also be working with   small groups within the classroom. You may also be asked to deliver speech and language therapy, occupational therapy or physiotherapy programmes under the direction of the relevant professionals and the SENCO. 

The ideal candidate will have a good standard of written and spoken English and Maths skills at a suitable level to support children up to Key Stage 2. Experience of working with children is   desirable, but not essential as support and training will be provided. 

Applications from both male and female candidates are welcomed. The children have asked for a teaching assistant who is “kind” and “helpful”.  

These roles are on a fixed term basis to support a named child whilst in attendance at Claycots School.
