As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community. We want our schools to be healthy environments where both children and staff can develop and where strong, positive relationships are key. Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team.

We are looking for a part time Educational and Pastoral Assistant, to work in EYFS for 26 hours a week, split across two classes. You would be joining a team of experienced teachers and support staff and would work both alongside the teacher to support the children in their learning, play and social and emotional well-being, and also on your own to deliver intervention to individuals and small groups of children. This is a part time role, working from 8.15am-3.15pm 4 days a week. The working pattern would be Monday and Tuesday in one class and Thursday and Friday in the other class.

Being a part of The Wensum Trust’s family of schools offers employees unique experiences to work alongside our strategic partners and to collaborate with a wider network of staff. We believe in investing in employees as individuals, by providing training opportunities that help to develop both existing and new skill sets, to encourage career progression at all levels. As a trust we have professionalised the role of education support. All of our Education and Pastoral Assistants are paid at either scale D or E with opportunities for pay progression. We believe in professional development at all levels. Therefore, we invest in our staff by providing opportunities for growth and upskilling. Our career progression pathways allow support staff to develop and advance within our schools. As a progressive trust, we aim to stay ahead of an ever-evolving educational landscape.

We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.
