Warmsworth Primary School has an exciting opportunity for a Teaching Assistant to join the team and make a difference for children, particularly those with additional needs.

Warmsworth is a large mainstream primary school, providing education for children aged between 3 and 11 years old. Our inclusive ethos means that we are supporting an increasingly higher number of children with additional needs, sometimes very complex, and we need additional staffing to best meet the needs of these children.

The Governors of Warmsworth Primary School wish to appoint a talented and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our support team. The successful candidate will be working under the instruction and guidance of teaching staff to support teaching and learning in classrooms to work with both individuals with additional needs to provide personalised support, and larger groups of children.

This post will also include supporting children through the lunchtime period in a midday supervisor role.

The successful candidate will:

• Be an enthusiastic and motivated individual
• Have the passion to make a difference in our school
• Be a good communicator with excellent interpersonal skills
• Be able to form relationships quickly with our children and staff
• Be a team player with high standards of themselves and others
• Have experience, or an interest and understanding, of supporting primary aged children and Special Educational Needs and Disability
• Be able to lead learning in groups of children
• Have good literacy and numeracy skills (GCSE English and Mathematics to Grade C or above, or equivalent)

We can offer:

• A very welcoming, caring school ethos, where we are passionate about meeting the needs of all children and develop each child as a whole
• An opportunity to work within a talented, hard-working, supportive team of staff, governors and parents
• An inclusive ethos with happy, enthusiastic and motivated children
• Excellent professional learning opportunities and career development
• A well-resourced school, both inside and out.

Closing date: 9.00 am on Monday 2 nd November 2026. Interview date to be confirmed.

The Governors of Warmsworth Primary School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants will undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers. The role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS certificate, the role is engaged in regulated activity and will therefore require a children’s barred list check.
