About the role
We have an amazing opportunity for a new Teaching Assistant to join us - a school in which you will have the chance to be a positive influence on our young people.
Whether you are interested in a new challenge or wanting to build your experience with a view to teaching, Bernards Heath Juniors is a school committed to growing and nurturing talent.
At Bernards Heath Junior, we offer:
- Opportunities to grow and develop professionally and personally, with training tailored to your needs
- Kind, caring and respectful children who enjoy coming to school and engaging with the adults around them
- A friendly and supportive team that care for their colleagues
- A welcoming school community that values the people who support our pupils
At Bernards Heath Junior school, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our staff are passionate about giving all children every opportunity to thrive. If you are nurturing, dedicated and positive, then you are perfect to join our team.
We are looking for an exemplary Key Stage 2 Teaching Assistant to join our dedicated and friendly Bernards Heath family. This role involves working to support the class teacher with the learning needs of the children, both whole class and 1:1.
The ideal candidate will need to be proactive and have a firm but caring approach to understanding the needs of children.
Relevant school experience is preferred, but not essential, and you must be willing to be flexible. Applications from candidates with secondary, infant or junior schools are welcome.
The post is for 25 hours per week. All of our Teaching Assistants also work as lunchtime supervisors. This role would include up to 5 lunchtime duties (12.20 -1.20). This will be with additional pay for the lunchtimes worked. Part time would be considered for the right applicant.
We require English and Maths qualifications to at least GCSE Grade C or equivalent.
Applications will only be accepted if completed using the approved HCC application form; online is the preferred way to apply. Hard copies of downloaded application forms are also acceptable. Incomplete applications and CVs will not be considered. Our school is committed to safeguarding children. All post holders are subject to a full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, satisfactory references and medical clearance.
Early applications are encouraged as the school reserves the right to close the advert should we feel able to appoint an appropriate candidate.
Please ensure that the referee section of the form is completed fully, stating email, phone number, full name, job title, and the name of school or company. You must include your current head teacher if you are currently working in a school. We will only consider applications that reflect a high degree of professionalism in terms of spelling, grammar and presentation.
Please note that this is paid pro rata. This is a term time only job and within school hours.
Visits are encouraged or you may prefer to call the school for an informal chat with the Headteacher or Assistant Headteacher/SENCO. Please contact the school office on 01727 856262 if you would like to discuss the role in more detail and we invite you to view our website.
