Associate Teacher

Stratford upon Avon School is a large successful school with a student roll of about 1950 students, and with capacity to grow further.

We are offering a fixed term contract appointment until August 2027, ideally to an outgoing graduate who is considering a career in teaching, or who would like to learn more about working within a school setting.

The role consists of these main components:

Your contracted hours will extend beyond the basic school day, thus allowing time for contribution to after hours clubs and activities, beyond the number of periods shown above.

Working hours are based on 8.30am to 4.40pm x 4 days & 8.30am – 4.10pm x 1 day with a 40-minutes unpaid lunch break. Total weekly working hours are 37 hours.

Any additional hours worked, for instance to deliver a breakfast club or an extra-curricular activity outside of your contracted hours would attract extra payment. This subject to prior agreement with the line manager.

The post is offered for a 39-week year, consisting of 38 weeks of student attendance plus 1 week (5 separate days) of Staff Learning Days.

Your line manager will be our Inclusion and Assessment Leader, working directly to the Assistant Headteacher (Inclusion).

All centrally allocated cover work will be assigned to you by the Cover and Curriculum Support Coordinator.

Teaching Assistant role will involve working closely with the SEN Dept and SENCo.

You will have a close working relationship with senior staff with teaching and learning responsibilities who will take responsibility to ensure you have access to training, time and opportunity to source and undertake your own personal development. The school is committed to make this work as smoothly as possible so that your time with Stratford upon Avon School provides you with a full range of relevant experiences to support your future career.

Lap Top Computers are issued to Associate Teachers for use in the classrooms and resource bases. All teaching departments have their rooms in close proximity and have their own resource base or a share of a resource base for staff. All practical rooms at Stratford upon Avon School are well-equipped, although we are always seeking to enhance our facilities, and the school itself provides a very pleasant working environment.

The post is advertised as described for 37 hours per week; 39 working weeks per year.

As you are entitled to a proportion of the full-time annual entitlement, the pay allowance for your holiday entitlement is included in the calculation of your annual salary. The number of weeks you will be paid each year is 45.05 weeks based on grade and as a result you are not entitled to take holiday entitlement during term time. This may increase dependent on any continuous service.

The pay system in operation uses a banding system, and this post is aligned to Band G. The indicative salary is as noted in the advertisement.

Payment is made monthly at the end of the calendar month direct into a nominated bank or building society account. Cost of living rises are awarded for all staff on or around 1st April each year, except during national wage freezes.
