Teaching Assistant

St Nicholas Catholic Primary School is a popular one form entry school. The Governors wish to appoint an enthusiastic Level 3 qualified Teaching Assistant on a fixed term basis until the end of this academic year initially, with the possibility of extending the role further, working to support our inclusive teaching and learning approach to educate a child with a variety of complex special educational needs.

The successful applicants will:

• be supportive of the Catholic ethos of our school.
• be required to provide academic, behavioural and social support for an individual child.
• have a good understanding of the National Curriculum & EYFS Profile.
• be enthusiastic and a good communicator.
• have high standards of oral, written and numeracy skills.
• be committed to raising pupils’ attainment, particularly in literacy and mathematics and have an understanding of intervention strategies.
• be committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children.

Experience of working within a Catholic school would be desirable but is not essential. We are a friendly staff with an outstanding reputation.

Informal visits to the school are most welcome. Please call the school office to make an appointment. Experienced practitioners encouraged to apply.
