Wansdyke School is looking for an motivated and caring Teaching Assistant to join its vibrant team and provide support to pupils, starting November 2026.

Working Hours: Part-time (30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 38 weeks per year, term-time only)

The successful candidate would ideally also be able to undertake additional Wraparound Care duties within our after-school club provision, helping to ensure a safe, caring and stimulating environment for children who attend. These hours would be in addition to the Teaching Assistant role and would be offered under a separate fixed-term contract for 7 hours 10 minutes per week (3.15pm to 4.30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 3.15pm to 5.35pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, excluding Teacher Training Days).

We are a vibrant non-denominational single form entry primary school, educating children between the ages of 4 and 11. Located in the market town of Devizes, Wiltshire, we are proud to have very incredible children, who show exceptional behaviour and attitude to learning. We have a supportive parent body and a 28 place Complex Needs Resource Base, which supports children with additional needs from across the county. Our passionate staff are committed to raising standards and achieving excellence and, in April 2026, we received a very positive Ofsted report achieving 5 strong standards and 2 expected judgements. We are part of Acorn Education Trust, which provides exciting opportunities to improve local education and draw on collective experience.

As a Teaching Assistant, you must be able to work across all age ranges and be prepared to work flexibly to support children of all abilities, including those requiring SEND support.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has a passion for delivering high quality and exciting opportunities for children;
  • Has strong interpersonal and communication skills and is able to work with a variety of pupils, staff and parents;
  • Has superb attention to detail and organisational skills;
  • Is self-motivated dedicated and consistent;
  • Has the ability to deal with new challenging situations;
  • Is a strong team player, who can use their own initiative;
  • Understands and is sympathetic to the needs of young people, including their social and emotional wellbeing;
  • Is First Aid trained (or is willing to complete this);
  • Has a positive and flexible attitude;
  • Has experience of supporting children’s learning.

We can offer the successful candidate:

  • An ambitious and vibrant place to work, with enthusiastic children and staff who are passionate about learning;
  • A workplace where everyone feels valued and supported;
  • Opportunities for training and progression;
  • The support of Acorn Education Trust, with excellent opportunities to work with experienced colleagues;
  • A supportive and clearly defined induction procedure.

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.
