Teaching Assistant – Key Stage 1 – Temporary maternity cover to start 4 November 2024 or sooner

We are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant to work in our KS1 team from 4 November 2024 until July 2025.

Are you looking for the opportunity to join an already strong school team within a unique school community?

We are a member of The Aspire Multi Academy Trust and offer a mutually supportive ethos with excellent opportunities for professional development.

Wilbraham Primary School is an exciting and vibrant three form entry primary school in Fallowfield, Manchester. With nearly 700 pupils and over 100 staff, the school serves a diverse community from many different cultures. The school prides itself in delivering a rich curriculum with a wealth of enrichment activities being made available to the children. We expect our children to be resourceful, reciprocal, resilient and reflective.

You will find our pupils friendly, well-behaved and very eager to learn. We have active and supportive local governors, staff and parents/carers, with the additional benefit of the support of a local, small, experienced MAT. There is effective collaboration and partnership within the Trust and local primary Heads’ forum and a strong commitment to continuing professional development.

To be successful, you will have to be an outstanding communicator with a willingness to learn, develop and adapt to the needs of the children in our school. We are looking for an excellent team player who can further strengthen existing positive relationships with staff, pupils, parents/carers and families.
