Teaching Assistant

“What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God” Micah 6:8

Teaching Assistants Level 3 (TA3) Two permanent posts: EYFS and Year 3

Holy Trinity CE Primary School is seeking two committed and enthusiastic Teaching Assistants Level 3 to join our supportive and caring staff team. One post is in EYFS and one is in Year 3. We will decide after interview where each successful candidate is best placed. We are looking for people who are passionate about supporting children’s learning, building positive relationships and helping every child to succeed.

Holy Trinity is a Church of England primary school serving a diverse community. We are an inclusive school and welcome applications from candidates of any faith or none, though all applicants must be sympathetic to our Christian values and ethos. Our children are well behaved, kind and keen to learn, and relationships across the school are strong, creating a calm and purposeful environment for teaching and learning.

The successful candidates will be skilled and reflective practitioners who support high-quality teaching and learning. They will work closely with class teachers to help pupils achieve their potential, provide targeted support where appropriate, and help to create a warm, engaging environment where children feel safe, confident and excited to learn. Experience in EYFS or Key Stage 2 would be welcome.

Both roles include supporting our Breakfast Club each morning, helping to provide a welcoming, safe and positive start to the school day for our children.

Our work is underpinned by our school values of Family, Respect, Encouragement, Trust, Excellence and Fairness. We are looking for someone who shares these values and demonstrates them consistently in their practice and professional relationships.

We are looking for candidates who:

• Are effective and reflective practitioners

• Have experience of supporting teaching and learning within a primary setting

• Have a good understanding of child development and learning

• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Have high expectations for every child’s progress and wellbeing

• Build warm, positive relationships with children and their families

• Work well as part of a team and are keen to develop their practice

• Can deliver interventions and support pupils with a range of needs

• Are flexible, proactive and organised
