Ashlands Primary School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated Teaching Assistant or Higher Learning Teaching Assistant to work alongside our class teachers in Key stage 2 to provide a stable, caring, stimulating and supportive learning environment, which enables pupils to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.

The core purpose of the roles is to work with the class teacher to ensure all pupils are engaged in their learning and are making sustained progress, as well as promoting pupils’ independence, self-esteem and social inclusion. This will be through 1:1 and small group sessions.

As a HLTA, your duties will also include covering and leading class teaching and directing the work of other adults in supporting learning, as required. You will also use your expertise to contribute to the planning and preparation of learning activities.

The ideal candidates will:

• Have previous TA experience and a good standard of literacy and numeracy
• Have a commitment to supporting and understanding pupil needs
• Possess a positive, 'can do' and flexible attitude and be able to work collaboratively as part of a team; and
• Candidates with a relevant HLTA standards qualification or equivalent would be desirable.

Our delightful children are polite, enthusiastic and hardworking and we have a welcoming family atmosphere and caring ethos based on our Church School Vision and Values of “Love of Learning, Love of Life, Love of One Another’. 

We offer a nurturing and inclusive environment for children and staff to flourish with a supportive community of staff, governors, parents and volunteers.

This is an exciting opportunity to support young people, and to work with a supportive team in a caring, aspirational and inclusive school.  If you think you possess the qualities and experience we are looking for, we would very much like to hear from you.
