Teaching Assistant

Arundel Court Primary Academy

We

are above average in size with approximately 680 pupils and a nursery on

site. The school has been part of The University of Chichester Academy

Trust since 2017 as a converter academy. An extensive new academy building

programme (PSBP2) funded by the EFSA was completed in February 2020. In

2023, the school expanded further with the opening of our Nest, an inclusion

centre for 24 children. We are an inclusive community that challenges and

inspires children in a creative and engaging way, laying the foundations for

life.

Position Description

School

staff know that no two days are the same and that no two children are the same

either. Supporting a wide range of learning activities, you will support the

Class Teacher to ensure a safe environment, prepare resources, and in

developing independent thinking and promoting excellent behaviour for learning.

This may include supporting learners on a one-to-one or small group basis. This

post will also include lunchtime supervision.

Experience

of working with young people in an educational setting is desirable but we

would also welcome applications who may wish to train or embark on a new,

exciting career. If you have transferable skills and are passionate about

education; committed to making a difference and have the know-how and skills to

support learners; if you are able to balance care and support with challenge,

rules and high expectations, we want to hear from you now!

In

return, you will be part of the University of Chichester Academy Trust,

bringing you added benefits and opportunities. You will find that each of our

Academies has a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and

enriching environment, where all staff feel valued.
