Are you looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference to children, be part of a supportive team and develop your own skills and career?

At Old Fletton Primary School, we believe that the adults in our school should have the same opportunities to grow, succeed and feel valued as the children they support. We are looking for a positive, caring and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our team.

Why you'll enjoy working at Old Fletton

As a Teaching Assistant, you will build positive relationships with children and see first-hand the difference you make to their confidence, learning and progress. You will work alongside experienced teachers and our SEND team, supporting individuals, groups and children within the classroom.

We want you to bring your personality, strengths and ideas to the role. We will give you opportunities to learn, develop and take on new challenges - while recognising that a rewarding career should also allow you to enjoy life outside work.

Our CARE Values - Celebrate Success, Aim High, Respect and Embrace a Challenge - aren't just for our children. They shape how we want our adults to experience working at Old Fletton too.

What we can offer you

• Person-centred professional development built around your strengths, interests and future aspirations.
• High-quality training including opportunities to attend courses both within and outside school.
• Opportunities to develop and progress your career, whether you want to become an exceptional Teaching Assistant, develop a specialism or consider a future career in teaching.
• A supportive team where your contribution, ideas and successes are recognised and valued.
• A commitment to staff well-being and a positive work-life balance.
• Term-time working, supporting greater flexibility around your life outside school.

Could this be you?

We are looking for someone who:

• genuinely enjoys working with children and is ambitious about what they can achieve;
• is warm, positive and able to build strong relationships with children;
• communicates well and enjoys being part of a team;
• is adaptable, creative and willing to embrace new ideas and challenges;
• understands the importance of safeguarding and is committed to keeping children safe; and
• shares our belief that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.

Come and be part of Old Fletton

We are proud to be "A caring school; serious about learning." We are ambitious for our children, but we also want to be ambitious for the adults who work with them.

We want you to enjoy coming to work, feel valued as part of our team and have opportunities to grow. Most importantly, we want you to go home every day knowing that you have made a difference to a child.
