Teaching Assistant​/Learning Support Assistant

Are you the right person to join the Cranborne team? Weare looking to recruit an exceptional Teaching Assistant to join our team for January 2026. The successful candidate will have a passion for supporting children to achieve their very best. We are a friendly and welcoming school with a great atmosphere and excellent achievements. Experience is desirable but not essential - some of our best staff started here with no experience at all!

It's the right people that matter; people who have a love, care and passion for children. We are, however, looking for candidates who are proficient in both English and Maths. The role will be class based and could include 1:1 support, small group support, cover supervision and whole class support from 8:40am to 3:15pm Monday to Friday. This is a fixed term post initially with the prospect of an extended contract for the right candidate.

We offer fantastic professional development as well as both career and pay progression.

Please do visit our school for a tour and meet our friendly staff and wonderful children. We also have a virtual tour on our website. We encourage all candidates to apply as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the application process early for the right candidate.

As holders of the Armed Forces Recognition Scheme Silver Award, we actively encourage applications from ex-regular members of the Armed Forces, or those currently serving with the Reserve Forces.

Cranborne Primary School are committed to the safeguarding of our children so all offers of employment will be dependent on an enhanced DBS check.
