Hethersett Woodside Primary and Nursery School are delighted to be able to appoint 2 committed, enthusiastic, positive Teaching Assistants to join our large team.

Hethersett Woodside has recently grown to full primary status, from its roots as a small infant school. Having recently moved into a brand new, state of the art building, the school has been gradually growing for a number of years and now is at capacity; with children from Nursery to year 6.

This is a rare opportunity to join our fabulous, child focused team.

We would like to appoint 2 Teaching Assistants who will support across Key stage 1 or 2; working with individuals and groups of learners. Hours of work, 8.30am-3.30pm, Monday – Friday.

We encourage applications from candidates who:

• are keen to support embedding our School Values:
  Respect, Resilience, Responsibility
• have a passion for working with children
• enjoy working as a team
• are committed with very high standards of learning and behaviour
• are well organised and able to use initiative
• have good levels of written English and maths
• have a sense of humour and positive outlook

Experience of supporting in a primary school would be an advantage, but is not essential as training will be given.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Employment is subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

We are also committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.
