Barningham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Β· Bury St Edmunds, East of England
From September 2026, we are looking for an enthusiastic, caring and creative Teaching Assistant to join our fantastic team. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a supportive village school community and make a real difference to pupilsβ learning and wellbeing. Following the successful opening of our Nursery in September 2024, we have been delighted with the strong interest in our early years provision and the growth of our school within EYFS. As a result, we are looking to expand our team by appointing a suitably qualified Teaching Assistant to support within this important area of the school. We are seeking a Teaching Assistant with a full and relevant Level 3 qualification, as part of the role will involve supporting children within our EYFS provision. Applications are also welcomed from candidates who hold HLTA status, with salary reflecting qualifications and experience. This role is a permanent role for three days per week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with the possibility of additional hours and extending this contract to more days per week depending on our Nursery intake next year. The successful candidate will support pupils across two classrooms from EYFS to Year 3, working closely with class teachers to provide high quality support for learning. A significant aspect of the role will involve supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), including within the classroom, in small groups and on a 1:1 basis. Experience of working with pupils with additional learning needs and demonstrating positive impact within a classroom is essential. Experienced teaching assistants are warmly encouraged to apply, and we are open to considering part time or job share arrangements for the right candidate. Candidates should be in sympathy with the Christian ethos of the school.
