We are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant who has a passion for supporting and developing children in Key Stage 1 to work in our mixed Year 1 and 2 class from September 2025.

The work will involve supporting the class as well as helping individual children during unstructured times at lunch and playtimes. You must be enthusiastic, patient and highly organised, working under the supervision of the class teacher, assisting with creating a positive learning environment and purposeful continuous provision. 

Working within a team, you should be a good communicator, able to be flexible to work across the school at times and be sensitive in responding to the needs of the children. An interest in professional development is important. Experience in this kind of work would be an advantage. 

We are a nurturing school and are developing our knowledge of Zones of Regulation. We are keen to make all school experiences fun and rewarding for children whose anxieties can make the environment more challenging.
