About this Role

Teaching Assistant Positions

Part time and full time opportunities available.

Temporary contracts initially until the end of the academic year, with the potential to become permanent.

We are replacing two members of staff who currently work 0.6 FTE and 0.8 FTE, but we are open to flexible working arrangements and do not necessarily intend to replace these roles on a like-for-like basis. We would therefore welcome applications from candidates seeking either part-time or full-time hours. Working patterns and days can be discussed to find the right fit for both the successful candidates and the school.

Commitment to safeguarding

Wychwood CE Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to complete all relevant pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check, references, online Searches and verification of the right to work in the UK.

About this role

We are a large rural primary school situated in the heart of the beautiful Wychwood community on the edge of the Cotswolds. We are looking for Teaching Assistants who share our passion for helping children thrive and achieve their full potential.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Can enthuse, motivate and inspire children.
• Have excellent interpersonal skills and build positive relationships with children, parents and colleagues.
• Can contribute positively to a hardworking and committed team.
• Are confident supporting children both in groups and on a one-to-one basis.

What we offer

• Positive, enthusiastic children who enjoy learning.
• A dedicated, supportive staff team and leadership team.
• A strong commitment to professional development.
• A warm, caring and inclusive Christian ethos.

Childcare before and after school is available for free if your child attends Wychwood School.

Visits to the school are welcomed. Please email the school office to make an appointment.

We may begin interviewing shortlisted candidates before the closing date. If a suitable candidate is identified we reserve the right to close the vacancy early. Early applications are therefore encouraged.
