We are seeking to appoint a flexible, skilled and compassionate Teaching Assistant to work within our KS2 team at Paxcroft Primary School. Candidates will ideally have a track record of working positively with primary-aged children and forming good relationships with teachers. For the successful candidate, this will be a fantastic opportunity to develop skills and experience in our setting. Visits to our site are encouraged and can be booked in through our school office.

The post holder will support children’s learning in a range of ways: working in whole-class lessons, working with selected groups, and supporting specific individuals with support plans on 1:1 basis. We would also be looking to include an hour’s lunch supervision. Experience with particular Special Needs, eg autistic spectrum disorder, would be desirable.

We would expect that the successful applicant would be able to demonstrate, or be able to develop, the knowledge and skills to deliver interventions appropriate to children working behind expectations in this age range. The position would be a fixed term position until the end of the academic year, at which point it would be reviewed.
