About this Role

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.

Garrick Green is a small and friendly Infant School in Old Catton. Our school motto, ‘Learn to be happy, be happy to learn’, underpins all aspects of school life.

supporting children while they eat their lunch
helping to create a calm, positive and safe lunchtime environment
encouraging positive play and social interaction
building warm and supportive relationships with children
playing alongside children and supporting them to feel included, happy and successful during playtimes

We are looking for someone who:

enjoys working with young children
is patient, positive and nurturing
can work collaboratively as part of a team

understands the importance of helping children feel safe, valued and cared for

This is a fixed-term position until 31 August 2027. Start date ASAP.

Working hours: Monday to Friday, 11:35am – 1:05pm, term time only.

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.

We value our staff and are committed to supporting their wellbeing. We have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which all staff can access 24 hours a day. The EAP provides counselling services, legal information and guidance, musculoskeletal services and online resources such as nutrition diaries, healthy eating plans, personal coaching questionnaires and tools and fitness programmes.

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.
