Descripción del empleo

At DMAT & Oak Tree Primary School, every child matters — and every member of our team plays a vital role in helping them reach their full potential.

As part of Durrington Multi Academy Trust, we are proud to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking community that believes in high standards, professional growth, and a shared moral purpose.

At Oak Tree, kindness, curiosity, and respect underpin everything we do — for our pupils, our families, and one another.

We’re looking for a passionate and motivated Individual Pupil Support Teaching Assistant (TA) to join our dedicated staff and make a real difference to children’s lives every single day.

This role is primarily to provide individual support to a pupil with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

However, the post is not exclusively linked to one individual pupil. Depending on the needs and priorities of the academy, the postholder may be required to support other pupils, work with small groups or undertake general Teaching Assistant duties. Should the pupil leave the academy, or their individual support arrangements change, the postholder may be deployed to provide general classroom and pupil support across the academy, in line with the needs of the school and the requirements of the role.

.

You’ll work closely with teachers to bring learning to life — supporting individuals, encouraging independence, and helping every child to reach their full potential.

You’ll play a hands-on role, contribute to the wider life of the school, and be part of a warm, caring environment where children love to learn.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is passionate about supporting every child to reach their full potential.
• Shares our values, brings warmth, energy, and commitment.
• Takes pride in helping children learn and grow.

In return, you’ll be part of a supportive and welcoming community that recognises and values the important contribution you make.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and join a school that values and invests in its people, we’d love to hear from you.

Keeping children safe is at the heart of everything we do. As part of our recruitment process, we take steps to make sure everyone who joins us shares this commitment.

What this means for you:

• All roles in our schools involve a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
• If you’re successful, you’ll need to complete some pre-employment checks, such as an enhanced DBS check and verifying your right to work in the UK. We’ll explain these clearly and guide you through the process.
• During the interview, we may ask questions about your understanding of safeguarding. This isn’t a test—it’s about making sure we all share the same values and priorities.

Why do we do this?

Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. These checks and conversations help us create a secure and welcoming environment for everyone.

If you have any questions about safeguarding or the checks we carry out, please let us know—we’re happy to help.
