Enhanced Teaching Assistant
Grade 5    £25,584 - £27,711 pro rata
Full Time, Term Time Only + 2 Weeks
Temporary – required as soon aspossible until 31st August 2025

The Governors of Tanfield Lea Community Primary School are keen to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant.
This position is a full-time temporary post until 31 August 2025, in the first instance. 

The post is for someone with the ability to be able to work across Key Stages 1 and 2.  Responsibilities include class support (which could include 1:1 support), small group intervention focusing on Maths and English, as well as being able to teach the whole class. 
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of our team.

We are looking for someone who:
• is dynamic and innovative;
• is committed to excellence, enjoyment and fun in learning; and
• has a hard working, positive, ‘can do’ attitude to school life.
And in return we will offer:
• an inclusive school with happy, well behaved children who enjoy learning;
• a supportive staff;
• a staff team committed to high standards;
• a commitment to continuous professional development; and
• a very supportive Governing Body.

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

If you would like an opportunity to visit the school, we have two available dates on Monday 2 December 2024 at 4.15 pm or Wednesday 4 December 2024 at 4.00 pm.  Please contact Mrs Carol O’Malley to arrange.

Shortlisting will take place on Wednesday 11 December 2024.
Closing date: 12.00 noon on Tuesday 10 December 2024
Interview date: Tuesday 17 December 2024

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.
