Truro and Penwith Academy Trust, together with St Buryan Academy Primary School, are seeking to appoint a dynamic and committed Teaching Assistant.
St Buryan Academy Primary School is in a beautiful, rural setting in West Penwith, with excellent facilities and easy access to the most wonderful outdoor learning environments. The real strength of the school lies in the school community: our staff, children, parents and Local Monitoring Committee.
We are all proud of our school and work hard to provide a caring and stimulating environment for learning. We share an ethos which promotes high standards in academic achievement allied with a broad, stimulating, rich curriculum. We celebrate and encourage the talents and skills of all of our children. Our aim is to foster independent and curious learners who are able and willing to make a positive contribution to our community and society.
This is an exciting opportunity to support pupils in achieving their full potential and to contribute to a positive, inclusive learning environment.
Working under the direction of the class teacher and SENDCo, you will provide classroom support to individuals and small groups of pupils, helping to deliver engaging learning activities and promoting pupils' academic, social and emotional development. The role may include supporting individual pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring all pupils are supported to access the curriculum and participate fully in school life.
About You:
We are looking for someone who is patient, adaptable and passionate about supporting children and young people. You should have excellent communication skills, a positive attitude and the ability to build effective relationships with pupils, staff and parents.
The role may include supporting pupils with additional needs, assisting with behaviour management strategies, preparing learning resources and contributing to the wider life of the school.
We are committed to safeguarding children and the successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and will be assessed against the Childcare Disqualification Regulations.
