We are seeking to appoint a dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our team at Highweek Community Primary & Nursery School. We are looking for an individual who is flexible, patient, hardworking, and fully committed to maximising the learning opportunities of our pupils.
The ideal candidate will possess a positive mindset, resilience, and a strong determination to improve educational outcomes. You will need to be highly organised, proactive, versatile, and resilient in supporting our students’ development.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will work closely with the class teacher to prepare and deliver provisions that cater to the needs of all pupils in your care, including whole-class, small group, and one-on-one support. Previous experience is an advantage but not essential.
We are searching for a professional who can inspire both students and colleagues, someone willing to go above and beyond for our pupils. If you are an energetic and positive team player with excellent communication skills, and have experience supporting pupils with SEND, we would love to hear from you.
At Highweek, we offer a supportive environment, with opportunities for regular professional development. ICT skills are essential, and you should be open to attending occasional twilight training sessions to enhance your professional growth.
Highweek is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Offers of employment will be subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS disclosure and other employment checks.
This role requires the ability to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence and fluency in English.
Shortlisted candidates may be subject to online checks.
We would particularly welcome applications from individuals who are keen to contribute to the wider life of the school and who are committed to helping us continue our journey from Good to Outstanding.
This post is fixed term due to a known fall in roll.
