Shirwell is a beautiful, small, traditional, village school, situated less than 5 miles from Barnstaple, with enthusiastic and friendly staff. We are looking for a Teaching Assistant to work in a mixed aged KS2 class. The class has a number of pupils with special needs that need support but you should be prepared to be involved in all aspects of teaching and learning.

The position is to start in September 2023, however you could take up the position in the Summer term if you are available.

You should be flexible and prepared to involve yourself in all aspects of a small, friendly, rural school, including children with SEND. You should have an enthusiastic and resilient manner, excellent communication skills, be able to think creatively and demonstrate a positive, calm and encouraging attitude.
Hours are 8.45am - 3.30pm (Monday - Friday) with some flexibility, if required, for the right candidate.
Interested applicants are welcome to arrange an informal visit to the school.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This role requires a DBS disclosure.
This role requires the ability to fulfil all spoken aspects of the role with confidence and fluency in English.
