About this role
About the successful candidate
As with all posts we are primarily looking for the right person for our pupils, school and community. Someone with resilience, who will work hard, in a relational way, to raise standards and improve outcomes for all our pupils and can be flexible and adapt to changing need. Only candidates who can demonstrate passion and enthusiasm for supporting children to overcome barriers and foster independence, will be considered for this post. Whilst it is essential that you are a strong and responsive teaching assistant, it is also important that you can seek and act on feedback and are proactive in developing your own practice. A very clear commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion is essential – as is a commitment to our relational approach and nurturing positive, quality relationships with all.
Excellent team-working and organisational skills are also essential, as is the ability to work independently and a strong commitment to wanting the very best for each child. You will need a strong understanding of the unique strengths and challenges facing our community and pupils – and we will look for this within your application. We want our teaching assistants to be passionate about working in our school with our unique children and staff.
