We are delighted that you are considering applying for the role of Teaching Assistant at St Mary's Catholic Primary School (Maltby).

St Francis Catholic Multi Academy Trust was established in September 2022 as part of the Bishop of Hallam’s vision for education. Today the St Francis family embraces 14 schools, 12 Primary Schools and 2 High School across the Local Authorities of Doncaster, Nottinghamshire and Rotherham. We are set to grow to 24 schools at capacity.

We serve our children and families through being committed to providing the highest standard of education, where academia and personal growth are our priorities rooted in our Catholic faith.

Our schools are unique serving wide ranging communities; we celebrate this individuality and support our schools to meet the needs of the children and families in their care. As individual schools we are joined together in our Catholic faith, delivering education which is rooted in Gospel Teachings. This creates our community which comes together to share excellence, learn from each other and champion our children.

We believe that education, along with the community that we have grown, is the most powerful tool we have to shape the future for our children.

We are looking for someone to support pupils with SEND, SEMH, communication and interaction, learning and pastoral needs to access education, engage positively with school life and make progress within a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.

The Teaching Assistant will work under the direction of teaching and inclusion staff to provide targeted support for individual pupils and groups, helping to remove barriers to learning, promote emotional wellbeing and support positive engagement across the school.
