About the Role

Teaching Assistant 2– Stafford Junior School

DBS check: Enhanced

Stafford Junior School is a three forms of entry school a stone’s throw from the beautiful Eastbourne sea front. The school formed a federation with Roselands Infant School becoming part of the Roselands and Stafford Federation from September 2015 and the two schools now work closely together sharing expertise and good practice.

Stafford pupils are well behaved, polite and enthusiastic about their learning and our committed, positive and hard-working staff team believe in putting the children at the heart of everything they do. Stafford is considered a "Good" school following our recent Ofsted inspection.

As a TA you will support children in small groups or individuals with a range of needs. You will support their learning, contribute to their behaviour management and help maintain the safety of the pupils. We are particularly keen to hear from applicants with experience of working with children on the autistic spectrum. Training will be provided in this area.

If so, we would love to hear from you. We are aiming to recruit a teaching assistant to join us in September 2016.

We aim to promote and ensure equality of opportunity and equal treatment for all.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.   This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).
