Teaching Assistant

At Gatley Primary School, we are looking for an enthusiastic and caring Teaching Assistant to join our Early Years team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young children and helping them to thrive from the very beginning of their school journey. Our Teaching Assistants work closely with groups of children as well as individual children, including those with EHCPs, to deliver personalised learning programmes and interventions. We provide a learning environment that aims to create a warm, friendly atmosphere in which children can grow and develop both academically and personally. We take pride in our achievements and have high expectations for each child in every aspect of their work – captured by our underlying school mission statement – ‘Enjoying Learning and Achieving Together’. We recognise that positive mental health and well-being, along with personal growth, are essential to the development of thriving and successful pupils and staff. The successful candidate will demonstrate necessary skills in order to enhance school life in order to maximise opportunities for pupils. They will have high expectations of themselves and others, and this will reflect the Trust’s approach of collaboration and empowerment in order to achieve. The successful candidate will also demonstrate a real commitment to safeguarding and safe working practices which is fundamental to the Trust’s ethos and values.
