Teaching Assistant vacancy to support Inclusion Centre from February 2024

Children are at the heart of everything we do here at Milton Park Primary School. We are a lively and supportive mainstream primary school in Portsmouth with a wonderful Inclusion Centre for children with social, communication and interaction.

We are seeking to employ an engaging and motivating Teaching Assistant to work in our Inclusion centre who has the drive, creativity and passion for teaching and learning to join our dedicated and welcoming inclusion team. Experience of working with pupils with SEN is desirable but not essential - what is imperative is that you have high expectations, a sense of humour, a love of challenge and a determination to make a difference to the lives of our fantastic children. You will also need patience, understanding and commitment, but above all, you will be sincere with a genuine desire to help young people - the successful candidates will play a crucial role in supporting our pupils’ learning.

·         Do you have a passion for every child achieving what they might have thought impossible?

·         Are you resourceful, calm, adaptable and able to make learning fun?

·         Do you believe that pupils with SEND have an entitlement to engaging and exciting schooling?

·         Have you got a good sense of humour with an enthusiastic attitude to learning?

If so, we want to hear from you!

Our Inclusion Centre supports children with a range of needs. Children are supported through play, small group learning activities and interventions to make progress against their individual outcomes.

Qualifications and experience are desirable but not essential; we will consider strong individuals who have worked in an educational environment and are able and willing to learn quickly ‘on the job’.

The successful candidate will benefit from high-quality, ongoing professional development and the shared expertise of our committed and talented staff.

Milton Park Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. DBS Disclosure at Enhanced level will be required prior to any offer of employment.
