About this Role

St Paul's Primary School is looking for a caring, nurturing member of staff, who is committed to supporting children's learning both in the classroom and at lunchtime.

Although some understanding of social communication needs and/or ASD would be desirable, bespoke training will be provided for the right candidate.

You should be able to demonstrate good interpersonal skills, be an effective team member and be prepared to use your own initiative.

The working hours are from 8.30am until 3.10pm, Monday to Friday (28 hours 45 minutes per week) term time only.

The full time salary scale for the post is £23,857.00 and the pro-rata salary will be £16,151.11.

The successful candidate will:

• have the opportunity to work as part of a supportive, hardworking and friendly team.
• be supported in continual professional development through comprehensive training and coaching which will allow you to enhance and further develop your skills.

Successful applicants must be able to support the distinctive Christian ethos of the school but do not have to be a practising Christian.

If you would like to find out more about this role, please contact Miss Hannah Keyzer (Senco).

Our website will also give you more information about our school and please take the time to read our last Ofsted report (November 2022) where the school was judged to be outstanding in EYFS provision and good in all other categories. We were also recently awarded excellent in our SIAMS inspection.

The closing date for this job is midnight on Sunday 6th September 2026 but applications will be considered as they are received and the school reserves the right to interview and appoint during the application process.

Safeguarding Statement

The Good Shepherd Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We ensure that all our employment practices reflect this commitment.
