Teaching and Learning Assistant

Heath Fields Primary School wishes to appoint an enthusiastic and caring teaching assistant to join our teaching team as soon as possible.

You will work with a reception child who has an Education Health Care Plan. You will work with the child on a one to one basis, as part of a small group and as part of the whole class. You will support their development both socially and academically.

Initially you will work from 8.30am until 1.30pm, but as the child you are working with becomes successful in school the hours you are expected to work will increase.

You should be someone who has a good level of communication, English and Mathematics skills. You will have had experience in working with primary aged children and ideally someone who has worked with young children on a one to one basis.

Our school offers a friendly and supportive working environment. Our children are well behaved and keen to achieve. We will support your professional development.

We would be happy to accommodate flexible working and would consider two people sharing the role between them. Please feel free to contact us for any additional information.
