We are actively recruiting for a talented Teaching Assistant to join a highly regarded primary school conveniently located near Linton. This is a fantastic opportunity to become a vital part of a supportive school community, helping to shape the minds of the next generation.

About the Role

As a Teaching Assistant, you'll play a crucial role in supporting both pupils and the class teacher. Your responsibilities will be varied and rewarding, including:

• Providing one-on-one and small group support to children, helping them grasp new concepts and overcome learning challenges.
• Assisting the class teacher with lesson preparation, classroom management, and creating engaging learning resources.
• Supporting pupils with special educational needs (SEN), ensuring they receive the tailored attention required to thrive.
• Helping to maintain a positive, inclusive, and stimulating classroom environment where every child feels valued and encouraged.
• Supervising children during activities, breaks, and potentially on school trips.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone with a genuine passion for education and a nurturing approach. Ideally, you will have:

• Previous experience working with children, preferably within a primary school setting, though strong candidates with relevant childcare experience will also be considered.
• A patient, empathetic, and positive attitude, with the ability to build rapport quickly with children and staff.
• Excellent communication skills, allowing you to effectively interact with pupils, teachers, and parents.
• A proactive and flexible approach to your work, ready to adapt to the dynamic nature of a school environment.
• Relevant qualifications (such as a Level 2 or 3 Teaching Assistant qualification) are beneficial but not essential if you possess the right attitude and experience.
• A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

What's in it for You?

Joining this primary school means becoming part of a warm and collaborative team. In return for your hard work and dedication, you can expect:

• A welcoming and supportive school environment where your contributions are highly valued.
• The chance to make a real and tangible difference in children's educational journeys every single day.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth within the role.

Ready to take on this incredibly rewarding role? If you're a compassionate and inspiring individual eager to contribute to a thriving primary school near Linton, we'd love to hear from you!
