We are looking to appoint a level 3 qualified Teaching Assistant to work in our Early Years department.

Do you want to make a real difference to the children and colleagues that you work with? We want every day to be exciting – not just for our children, but for everyone in our school community. To do this you will need to be (amongst other things) creative, caring, willing to take risks and most importantly focussed on enjoying your job and creating the best opportunities for the children you work with to learn, aspire and achieve.

You will need to be a motivated and proactive individual, confident in your abilities to support primary aged pupils and with a passion for providing high levels of support. The role requires a high level of flexibility and your understanding of providing outstanding care will be coupled with a dedicated approach.

Why work at Woods Loke?

We are a large, popular and oversubscribed Primary School with 480+ pupils from the ages of 2 to 11. We have a very settled and experienced staff team, well behaved pupils, and a highly supportive parent community. We have a fantastic school environment and a wide range of additional resources and facilities. We are part of a small Academy Trust who provide us with the resources and the freedom to lead the school in the way we think is best.

The school was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted in April 2024.
