About this Role

The Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School is a one and a half form entry primary school educating approximately 280 pupils in Kingsthorpe, Northampton. The Good Shepherd is part of Our Lady Immaculate Academies Trust.

Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Academies Trust is a large Catholic Multi Academy Trust situated in the northern half of the Catholic Diocese of Northampton formed by the merger of three former Catholic Trusts in February 2020. The Trust currently leads and manages ten catholic primary schools located across the geographical area of Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire and, two Catholic secondary schools – Thomas Becket in Northampton and St Thomas More in Bedford.

The school is seeking a highly committed and passionate individual who wants to support a child on a one to one basis to help them achieve their full potential. You will ideally have some experience of working with children who have either special or medical needs or, challenging behaviour. You would be joining a nurturing and caring school environment underpinned by a Catholic ethos and educational focus, whose aim is for every pupil to leave with a strong moral purpose, high aspirations and immense pride in what they have achieved during their time with us.

This post is on a fixed term contract as it is directly linked to funding for the child who is expected to join Reception in September.

We can offer the successful applicant:

• Friendly staff and children with excellent behaviour who are eager to learn and develop their skills

• Excellent opportunities for professional development and self-review

• A caring and supportive team

• Positive relationships with parents, governors and parish

• Delightful children who ensure you leave with a smile each day.
