Teaching and Learning Assistant (SEND)

As the Head of School at Brassington Primary school, I would like to welcome you to our wonderful, small village school, located in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.

I am looking for an enthusiastic part-time teaching assistant to join my team, working alongside me and our SENCo, supporting children with SEND in the morning sessions.

The successful candidate will start as soon as possible. We welcome applications from any career background.

Although advertised as fixed term, this post is linked to supporting a specific child and will continue for as long as the child remains at the school.

The proposed working hours would be Monday – Thursday 8.30am-11.30am and Friday 10am-1pm. Although for the right candidate there may be some flexibility.

The Village Federation offers an excellent working environment where talent is nurtured, work-life balance is valued and everyone is determined to create a happy and successful environment for children and adults alike.
