Teaching Assistant - Woolacombe School (Alumnis Multi-Academy Trust)
- North Devon, Devon
- Multiple Terms
- Grade B £13.05 - £13.69 per hour
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join the team at Woolacombe School.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within a small, nurturing school community where children are at the heart of everything we do. The successful candidate will primarily support teaching and learning in key stage one but will also support across the school, helping to create engaging and inclusive experiences that enable every child to achieve their full potential.
This is an especially exciting time to join us. Woolacombe School will shortly be transferring to The Academies for Character and Excellence (ACE), and this recruitment is being undertaken in partnership with Alumnis. This transition brings a wealth of opportunity. ACE is deeply committed to providing an exceptional education for every child, underpinned by a strong belief in equity, collaboration and uncompromising excellence. Their approach extends beyond the classroom, placing a real emphasis on character education, personal development and ensuring that every pupil and every member of staff is supported to thrive.
ACE is passionate about delivering a rich and innovative curriculum and fostering a highly collaborative way of working. Through its strong network of schools and professional communities, staff are given genuine opportunities to develop, share expertise and grow within their profession. A commitment to equity ensures that every child, and every member of staff, has access to meaningful opportunities, with a clear focus on tackling disadvantage and providing high-quality professional learning.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting children to succeed, who works effectively as part of a team, and who can build positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues. The successful candidate will be committed to inclusive practice and to helping every child develop confidence, independence and a love of learning.
In return, we can offer a warm and supportive school community, dedicated colleagues and enthusiastic children who are eager to learn. Through ACE, staff benefit from high-quality professional development and opportunities to collaborate across a wider family of schools.
Visits to the school are warmly encouraged, and we would love prospective applicants to experience first-hand what makes Woolacombe such a special place to work and learn.
