About the role

Are you looking to work at a forward thinking school where everyone is seen as a learner?

Are you motivated to develop professionally and personally?

A rare and fantastic opportunity has arisen at Shephalbury Park to join our committed, and friendly team. We are looking for a committed individual to work as a teaching assistant supporting learners in our school. You will have responsibility within the classroom. This role will be well supported and highly rewarding.

The role is envisaged as full time, involving possible 1 to 1 support.

We are incredibly proud of our Ofsted inspection (October 2022), which recognises the good and outstanding provision that our whole learning community has contributed to creating over the last few years.

Our Shephalbury LEARNER attributes are at the heart of everything we do. As part of our learning community, you would harness those high aspirations for all.

We take the mental and physical well-being of our learners, staff and wider community very seriously, and are constantly developing and implementing new ideas to support the well-being of our entire learning community.

We are a popular one form entry school with many fantastic facilities. We have enviable grounds, a library, computing suite, and many other excellent resources to support high quality teaching and learning.

We are looking for someone who is committed to supporting our learners and their own self development. We want you to have a genuine commitment to help our learning community aspire and achieve; you should also have strong literacy, numeracy and interpersonal skills.

We are committed to providing a happy, safe, fun and secure environment in which every member of our learning community - learners, staff, parents and governors - feel valued and can flourish.

If the sound of this job excites and inspires you, then we would be delighted to welcome you to visit and see our fantastic school for yourself, to let our Shephalbury learners, staff and facilities speak for themselves. We look forward to meeting you!

Our school is committed to safeguarding children and young people.  All post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. The school also promotes the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The recruitment process will select candidates for interview based on their suitability to the job description and person specification.

We reserve the right to interview and appoint candidates before the advertised closing date.
