Permanent
Required from 6th September or as soon as possible thereafter
The governors of Prince Bishops Primary School are looking to appoint an experienced Teaching Assistant to support teaching and learning, initially in Key Stage 1.
There will be an expectation for the post holder to plan, prepare and deliver learning activities for individuals and groups of pupils under the professional direction and supervision of a qualified teacher, differentiating and adapting learning programmes to suit the needs of individual pupils.
Applicants should be familiar with delivering phonics programmes and providing short-term cover of a class on a regular timetabled basis planned by the teacher.
We are looking for someone who:
• Is knowledgeable about the curriculum and effective teaching strategies.
• Is passionate and highly motivated to make a difference to the lives of our children.
• Is resilient and optimistic.
• Wants to be fully involved in the life of the school.
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
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Any offer of employment will be subject to receipt of a satisfactory DBS Enhanced Disclosure and satisfactory references.
The closing date is Tuesday 30th August 2022 at 9am.
Short listing will take place on Tuesday 30th August and interviews will be held on Tuesday 6th September.
As the school will not be open over the summer holiday, only shortlisted candidates will be invited for a tour of the school prior to their interview.
