KS1 Teaching Assistant

About the role

We work hard.

We are kind.

We love having fun.

We are good at handwriting.

We are the best class in the school!

These were some of the things that our Year 1 (going into Year 2) children think you should know about their class, before coming to work here.  We are looking for a KS1 Teaching Assistant to work in our Year 2 class from September. 

We are open to varying degrees of experience but are looking for someone dynamic, that is eager to learn and keen to be a crucial part of our team.  The role is a class based teaching assistant, but with opportunities to develop new skills and take on responsibilities beyond the classroom.     

We are looking forward to working with someone that is eager to support children to achieve their best.  Anyone looking to work at our school must be helpful, kind, respectful and fair.  These qualities will ensure that our children are always getting the best offer.  

At Micklem, we understand that a child can only learn in a happy and safe environment.  We are aware of the crucial role that support staff play in creating this safe space for children.  In order for staff to effectively support children we recognise that staff wellbeing is of crucial importance.  With that in mind, we have several staff benefits: wellbeing day; half termly breakfast butties; daily magic breakfast; CPD opportunities; supportive performance management; staff social events and more.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please feel free to contact our admin team and arrange a walkaround of our school and grounds.  We are blessed with large classrooms and an expansive outdoor area.  More importantly however, we are blessed with friendly and supportive staff and engaging children who want to learn.  We look forward to hearing from you.
