Teaching Assistant

St. Peter’s is an oversubscribed school, known as a high performing school and nationally recognised for our approaches to character education. Our most recent Ofsted inspection (‘Good’ April 2025 and SIAMS inspection (‘Excellent’ May 2019) indicate the significant progress we have made in developing well rounded students who ‘live life to the full’.

As a result of a number of our current TA’s successfully moving onto teacher training courses and increasing numbers of students with EHCP’s we are excited to be looking at recruiting two TA’s. Applications from candidates with experience of working with children with SEND needs and those who are seeking to become teachers are strongly encouraged to apply. TA’s will be working within a team supporting students who have needs relating to Communication and Interaction, Cognition and Learning, Social, Emotional and Mental Health and Physical and/or Sensory needs.

Personal skills would include:

• A high level of patience
• Be able to empathise
• Good listening skills
• A good sense of humour
• An English and Maths qualification at C grade GCSE or above or equivalent

Full Time: Monday to Friday – 29 hours and 10 minutes per week for 38 weeks per annum plus one training day per academic year.

Part Time: In the region of 12.5 hours per week (2 days) for 38 weeks per annum plus one training day per academic year.

Our students make working here a real pleasure, and as such we have high expectation for both our students and ourselves.
