Teaching Assistant

Queen’s Park Academy is an exceptional primary school that offers a warm, welcoming, and nurturing learning environment for children aged 3-11. We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant to join our supportive team and play a key role in motivating and inspiring young learners. In everything we do, we aim to create a positive and safe environment to foster success and impact our students’ lives. We prioritise providing a transformational education for the children and young people in our care, and we are looking for great people with the knowledge and skills to support us in achieving this aim.

At Queens Park Academy we emphasise the importance of kindness, civility, and inclusivity in a text-rich, teacher-led learning environment. We want our pupils to leave our primary schools equipped for success in the next stage of their educational journey, and to achieve this we teach an academic curriculum enhanced by an entitlement to enrichment for all. We are dedicated to providing an outstanding education to every child. Our lovely students, hardworking teachers and staff, and supportive parents create a community that is committed to excellence in all areas of education.

We believe in pro-actively supporting pupils to successfully achieve high standards of conduct, resulting in very high expectations, and a calm and consistent learning environment where pupils feel safe, valued and can thrive. We think this makes for a warm and happy school, where teachers can teach and pupils can learn, but moreover enables us to give pupils the foundations they need to lead happy and fulfilling lives.

  • To promote and support the inclusion of all pupils in the learning activities in which they are involved.
  • To help assess and systematically record pupils’ progress and achievements, using the results of this monitoring in further support work.
  • The successful applicant will join our staff working under the instruction and guidance of experienced teaching staff, to undertake educational activities and attend to the educational, personal and social needs of pupils in order to support their learning and development whilst ensuring their safety.
  • At Queen’s Park Academy we challenge all learners to work hard and achieve as individuals across a broad and engaging curriculum, where learning is at the heart of all we do. Our children are nurtured to show respect for themselves, others and the wider community by developing positive relationships built on our school values.

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.
