Teaching Assistant KS1 / LKS2

Our very effective and supportive Governing body are seeking to appoint an experienced, enthusiastic and caring KS1/LKS2 Teaching and Learning Assistant to join our school team from September (expected to be based in Y2). We are looking for a conscientious and committed professional that believes all children can achieve high standards and therefore demonstrates consistently high expectations of all pupils in all aspects of school life.

What the school offers its staff

We pride ourselves at Anthony Bek (Ofsted 'Good' 2022) as always being described as a very warm and welcoming school with many unique attributes, such as our rewards scheme or enrichment offer, and we are fortunate to have lots of outdoor space and facilities. Pupils of Anthony Bek take pride in their work and demonstrate very effective learning behaviours. Our staff team work closely together, sharing ideas and resources and are a family both in and out of school.

Further details about the role

The contract is to begin as soon as possible, once relevant checks have been completed and the successful applicant has served their notice, if relevant.

Working hours are 31 hours per week, term time only, following Derbyshire term dates. This is 8:30-3:30pm everyday with a 1 hr lunch break from 11:45-12:45pm. On Wednesdays, the finish time is 4:30pm due to enable attendance at the Key Stage meeting. There may be opportunities to add additional hours up to a maximum of 37 hours per week following the next budget review although this is not guaranteed.

As we are so close to the Nottinghamshire border, candidates need to be aware that holidays for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire sometimes differ quite significantly so you may need to consider this if you have children attending Nottinghamshire schools.
