Primary Enhanced Teaching Assistant (2 Posts)
Grade 6  £27,269 - £30,060 pro rata
Full Time, Term Time Only + 2 weeks
Permanent
Required from January 2025

The Woodlands is looking to appoint an experienced Grade 6 Enhanced Teaching Assistant to join the Primary Team to be based in small classes of up to 8 students across two local bases. Our students are referred through a Primary Panel for a short-term turnaround placement where support and intervention are targeted to reset challenging behaviours. The ideal person for this role would benefit from previous experience and be Team Teach trained, or be willing to complete this training.

The Woodlands Primary is located across 2 Bases in Ferryhill, Durham and caters for students aged between 5-11 who are at risk of suspension/exclusion. Ofsted rated the school as ‘Good’ in all areas at our last inspection. 

The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.  

Calculation of term time only plus two weeks’ pay

Term time only plus two additional weeks’ pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
• Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
• Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
• Two additional weeks, inclusive of CPD – 2 weeks; plus
• Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:

Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 47 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments

Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service:
40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 48 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and, if successful, you will need to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.

As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and people with health conditions making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required’
