Summary
Join Our Passionate and Supportive Team at Malmesbury C of E Primary School
Malmesbury C of E Primary School is a vibrant, two-form entry school rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in June 2024. With a dedicated and enthusiastic team, we strive to make learning both stimulating and enjoyable, ensuring every child experiences an exciting, rewarding, and meaningful educational journey.
We are currently seeking two committed SEN Teaching Assistants (TAs) to join our supportive team.
About the RoleThis role involves supporting a KS2 pupil with emotional regulation needs and slower processing skills. The child, who is working under an EHCP, has made excellent progress with consistent support and is thriving in our environment. We’re looking for someone to continue that journey — providing stability, encouragement, and expertise as the pupil progresses through Key Stage 2.
There may be times when you’ll be asked to support other children across the year group, especially when named pupils are absent or working independently. Flexibility and a team spirit are essential.
Why Join Us?
At Malmesbury, we are proud of the inclusive support we offer all our pupils. Our SEND provision is built on collaboration — no one supports a child alone. Every team member plays a role in ensuring our children feel seen, supported, and successful.
