Teaching Assistant (Permanent & Relief) Vacancy Advert

Post Location: Primary School and Secondary School - We have a secondary site which will be temporarily based at Jubilee Primary School, before moving to our new building in Halt Robin Road, which will be opened in September 2025. Please be aware that although you are normally assigned to one site, you may be asked to work at any of our sites. This ultimately depends on where vacancies occur and operational feasibility.

Contract Type: Permanent Hours/Weeks: 5 days per week (30 hours) (9:00 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.) 39 weeks per year (term time + training days)

Please be advised that successful candidates will be required to undertake 3 days staff training (requiring additional hours) within their first 6 weeks of employment. 1 day will be for induction and 2 consecutive days will be for Team Teach training. We also advise that on staff training/inset days (school calendar accessible via the school website) additional hours could also be required so that relevant training is achieved. This will be discussed further at interview.

Contract Type: Relief – (to work across all three sites if needed) Hours/Weeks: This is a zero hour contract but in general TA’s work as follows: 9:00 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. Term-time only - 39 weeks per year (plus occasional training days). This essentially means that we do not have regular hours to offer but wish to increase our number of relief staff who we can make contact with, if and when the needs arises and our staffing levels require additional help. We will always endeavour to provide as much notice as possible.
