There is also the potential option of working 7.45 am-8.30 am each day to run our small Breakfast Club as an additional contract. This will ideally be one person for consistency, but we could consider a job share.

  • working under the direction of a teacher following class planning and supporting children
  • feeding back to the teacher and commenting on progress towards the set targets
  • supporting individual children within the class and on the playground

What you will need

You will need to:

  • be flexible and adaptable
  • be calm and patient
  • be cheerful and friendly
  • have great interpersonal and communication skills
  • be able to use own initiative as well as being able to work as part of a team
  • have a good understanding of the Key Stage you are working in
  • have the ability to take the initiative and adapt work to the child or situation
  • value our children in their richness and diversity
  • be committed to our school vision for all adults and children to be ‘working hard, aiming high’
  • be committed to safeguarding children
  • have the ability to work both in the classroom and out of the classroom.

About us

Located in a small village just outside of Ipswich, the school is driven by a strong, nurturing ethos which supports the development of the whole child. The school has four mixed age classes, and we are keen to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated teaching assistant who can contribute to the delivery of a creative, engaging and challenging curriculum. We are looking for a positive practitioner who is passionate about supporting the development of children. You will be committed, enthusiastic and enjoy interaction with children, setting good examples and building confidence. You will have good inter- personal skills including the ability to use judgement and common sense and be able to work on your own, using your initiative. You will ideally have experience of working in mixed age classes and with SEND pupils.

What we will offer you

We can offer:

  • a ‘good’ school (Ofsted, July 2024)
  • ‘pupils who are calm and respectful’ (Ofsted, 2024)
  • a supportive governing body, parents and community
  • a nurturing and caring place to work
  • a commitment to your professional development and wellbeing

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
