Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an opportunity for a person with experience of a TA or someone who wants to explore before choosing a career in teaching. Candidates must have A* to B GCSE in English and mathematics. An A Level or a degree is an advantage but not essential, as is some experience of work in an educational setting. Prior experience is not a must as training will be provided, but ability to prioritise, manage time effectively, and take initiatives is vital for the role. The successful candidate will be self-driven and a strong team player.
What the school offers its staff
The successful candidate will be deployed in a class to support the learning of pupils as directed by the classteacher. They will be placed in the key stage of their choice. Some experience of teaching in a similar setting is desirable but not essential. Full-training will be provided by the school and the successful candidate will have regular, weekly in-house training on different aspects of teaching and learning. The post-holder will be required to work Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM or 8:45 AM to 4:45 PM, depending on the needs of the school. The post-holder will work during term-time (plus an additional week in Easter if required by the school). Candidates must have good communication and interpersonal skills. Being able to work as part of a team while being driven by own initiative is essential.
Commitment to safeguarding
Bigland Green Primary is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will require an enhanced DBS clearance. We are dedicated to equality and valuing diversity.
