We are looking for a teaching assistant who is able to provide support in the classroom as soon as possible. The post is part time (20 hours per week) and is temporary until Friday March 26th. The role will be to offer support to pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months using ‘catch-up’ funding and for 5 mornings, working from 8.30am to 12.30pm each day.
We are seeking to appoint a teaching assistant who

Under normal circumstances we would warmly welcome visits to see our school, meet the children and staff and talk to the Headteacher. However, at this times, please can we request that candidates contact our school office to speak with the Headteacher if you require any further information or clarification.
The Governing Body is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Any offer of employment will be subject to receipt of a satisfactory DBS Disclosure form.
This job is not open to job share
Where our roles are customer facing and you are required to speak to members of the public, the ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post. 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.
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 - 5.2 weeks (26 days) or 6.2 weeks (31 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service.
Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 26 days annual leave.
Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 31 days annual leave.
For example:
Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 26 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 46.8 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) + 31 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 47.8 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
Application forms and an information pack are available from and returnable to the school via email only.
