Teaching Assistant - Alphington Primary School (Exeter Learning Academy Trust)
- Multiple Locations
- Multiple Terms
- Grade C
We are seeking to appoint flexible and reflective Teaching Assistants to join our hardworking, dedicated, and collaborative team, initially on a fixed term contract, based on SEND funding, until 31 August 2023. You will work under the guidance of the class teacher, with the support of the SENCo, to ensure all children reach their full potential. This may involve working with small groups or on a 1-2-1 basis.
An understanding of the principles of effective learning, a reflective but dynamic approach, good communication skills and a passion for making a difference to all children are essential requirements for this post.
For this, you will need to have good literacy and numeracy skills, as well as the ability to motivate children to do their best. You will be patient, understanding and responsive, and able to build positive relationships with children, while establishing consistent boundaries. A willingness to work as part of a team, as well as taking your own initiative when required, is essential. Experience of working within a school in a similar role would be extremely beneficial but is not essential.
We would like the successful candidate to start work as soon as possible.
