Starting date: from 25th November 2024

Wombwell Park Street Primary School is a good school (Ofsted December 2023).

We have a fabulous team of staff with an excellent mix of experienced and ‘new to the role’ staff. The children are very hard working, well behaved and enjoy school life with the staff! We have a friendly ethos and support each other in developing and learning.

Should you wish to find out more about Park Street beforehand then please do not hesitate to contact the school.

We are seeking to appoint a teaching assistant who will work in a designated class team, most probably in Reception initially, but willing to work across all classes ranging from Nursery to Year 6 as directed and needed. This will involve support for the teacher and children in class, 1:1 intervention with relevant children, SEND work and small group intervention and support sessions as requested by the class teacher.

We are seeking to appoint a flexible team player who is prepared to support the class teacher, other colleagues and children. You will need to be well motivated, tenacious and be confident enough to use your own initiative when the need arises. In addition, you must have high expectations, alongside a desire to support and nurture children to best meet their developmental needs. You will be expected to uphold all the school policies and procedures, paying particular attention to the positive behaviour and relationships policy.

Applicants must have:

• evidence of relevant Level 3 qualification (or evidence of working towards this)
• relevant experience working with school-age children (EYFS/primary)
• excellent communication skills
• a minimum of Level 2 qualification in English and Maths (and show evidence of this)
• a positive attitude and a desire to work as a member of a fantastic team.

The closing date for applications is 4pm on Friday 18th October 2024.

Shortlisting and interviews will take place very shortly after this.

The successful candidate will, if requested, be willing to work in other schools within Every Child Matters Academy Trust.
