Teaching Assistant

Required from September 2025
Teaching Assistant
Temporary until end July 2026 

Due to changes in staffing, the Governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Teaching Assistant with ability to work across the primary age range. Applicants must be highly motivated and willing to work as part of a team. This post would suit a qualified and experienced TA, or a recently qualified teacher looking for experience in the classroom. 

Successful candidates will be working initially in class for maths and English lessons but can be working across the school to implement interventions. Therefore, experience of both KS1 and KS2, including the teaching of phonics (RWI) would be desirable. They would also cover playground duties. The post is initially for the academic year 2025-26 but there is a possibility that this would be extended.

This is a caring Church of England School and applicants must be willing to promote and support our Christian values and ethos.

The successful candidate will need to be a good classroom practitioner who is able to nurture, inspire and motivate children.  They must be able to work with the class teachers to drive standards and help children to reach their potential.  They will be able to work independently to provide support to small groups, deliver interventions under the supervision of the class teacher and show initiative in supporting learning and maintaining a productive learning environment.

In return we offer the opportunity to work in a welcoming school where everyone is valued equally and works together to provide a highly inclusive, supportive learning environment.  The school staff are supported by a committed Governing Body and all members of staff are encouraged and provided with opportunities to develop their own skills and abilities.

This post would suit an experienced and suitably qualified TA (at least 12 months experience is desirable) or alternatively would suit a recently qualified teaching graduate who is looking for classroom experience before embarking upon their teaching career.

The closing date for applications is Friday 23rd May. Shortlisting will take place week of 2nd June, with interviews week of 9th June.

All Saints Upton C.E. Primary is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check.
