Teaching Assistant Level 2

19 hours and 10 minutes per week (8.40 am to 12.30pm, Monday to Friday) Term time only Carr Infant School is looking for a positive and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to work within our team to provide support for some of our most vulnerable pupils. The role will involve some small group intervention work, some 1:1 support for pupils and some work within our school SEN provision. You will have GCSE qualifications in maths and English at a grade C/4 or above, or equivalent, and will have experience of working with children or young people, and ideally some previous experience of working with children with SEND. You will have the skills to work alongside class teachers and our school SENCo to ensure that children are able to access an ambitious curriculum and make positive progress against their own personal targets. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is calm, caring and consistent in their approach, who is committed to maintaining our high standards and wants to make a difference, and who is willing to 'go that extra mile’ to better the life chances of our children. In return, we can offer a supportive working environment, with colleagues who care deeply, are experts in their fields and who are passionate about what they do. Carr Infant School is due to join Excel Learning Trust on 1 November 2026. The Trust offers a range of staff benefits, and further details regarding the benefits and information about the Trust can be found here. The Trust will be undertaking a job evaluation exercise in the near future and, therefore, the grade for this position may change.
