Teaching Assistant Level 1

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Teaching Assistant (L1) to support SEN children in the classroom and lead targeted interventions. Do you have experience of working with, or caring for, children at primary level? Are you looking for a new opportunity to work in the classroom supporting children with their learning?

Ecton Village Primary Academy is a small but expanding rural primary school with a caring and nurturing ethos to ensure that all children achieve and enjoy their time at school. We have a small staff so the successful candidate will immediately become a hugely valued member of our team.

We are proud of the way we work together. Here is some feedback from existing colleagues showing how they feel about our wonderful academy:

“Teamwork - we always pull together and support each other. “

“Staff always checking on you and supporting you. Especially with new jobs and tasks to do.”

“An open and honest atmosphere”

“A shared sense of humour and the ability to see the funny side of things”

(Excerpts from Hatton Academies Trust People Wellbeing Survey 2023)

Ofsted inspectors recently (June 2023) judged Ecton Village Primary Academy to be ‘good’ in all five areas of the inspection framework. The report is filled with positive statements from pupils and parents, and noted that ‘One pupil spoke for many when they said, “This is a great community. Even though we are a small school – we are a big family!”’

·        have some experience of working with, or caring for, children of relevant age
