Temporary Teaching Assistant Required as Soon as Possible
Grade 3 £18,933 - £19,698

The Governors of St Oswald’s C of E Aided Primary & Nursery School are seeking to appoint a caring and committed teaching assistant to join our team. They are looking for a teaching assistant who will be committed to working within the Christian ethos of the school. Experience of working on a 1:1 support basis and knowledge of ASD would be an advantage, but this is not essential.

The successful candidate will become a valued part of a committed and hard-working school team and play a vital role in the success of this thriving primary and nursery school. The successful candidate will be confident and capable in working with children and families, with an excellent understanding of safeguarding and confidentiality.

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

Potential candidates are welcome to contact the school for further information about this post.
