Teaching Assistant

Job Description

An exciting and rewarding opportunity has arisen to be part of an excellent staff team who work closely together to get the very best education for every child. It is a temporary vacancy at the moment, but it may well be extended depending on the needs of the children from September.

We are seeking a passionate, inspirational and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our thriving primary school. The successful candidate will have a passion for working with children and a commitment to the school ethos. As part of the University of Chichester Multi-Academy Trust, you will have access to additional opportunities and benefits. Each academy has a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and enriching environment, where all staff feel valued.

School staff know that no two days are the same and that no two children are the same either. Supporting a wide range of learning activities, you will support the Class Teacher to ensure a safe environment, prepare resources, and in developing independent thinking and promoting excellent behaviour for learning. This may include supporting learners on a one-to-one or small group basis. This post will also include lunchtime supervision.

Experience of working with young people in an educational setting is desirable but we would also welcome applications who may wish to train or embark on a new, exciting career. If you have transferable skills and are passionate about education; committed to making a difference and have the know-how and skills to support learners; if you are able to balance care and support with challenge, rules and high expectations, we want to hear from you now!

We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to an appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service check along with other relevant employment checks, including satisfactory references.
