Do you have a belief and determination that you can make a difference?
Are you an outstanding, highly motivated and inspiring Teaching Assistant who can engage and
support children to reach their full potential? If you are then we have the role for you.
St. Richard’s Catholic Primary School is a Good School as judged by Ofsted in our recent inspection
and has recently become an Academy as part of the Kent Catholic School Partnership. We are seeking
to appoint a Teaching Assistant, who wishes to develop their career in our increasingly successful and
popular school that is at the heart of a supportive Catholic community.
We offer an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic team focused on raising standards and providing
creative opportunities which allow pupils to learn and achieve. We are looking to appoint someone who
is able to inspire our young learners, working with energy and enthusiasm. This role will involve you
working across the whole school, supporting pupils in class and in intervention groups and therefore,
you will have excellent communication skills and be a strong team player to allow pupils to reach their
goals.
We ask that you are educated to GCSE grade ‘C’ or above in Maths and English together with a Level 3
Teaching Assistant qualification. This is initially a fixed term position of 26.25 hours per week, term
time only plus 5 Staff Development Days until the 31 August 2015, with the possibility of the post
being extended. The post will involve providing daily support for lunchtime duty cover which will be
paid in addition.
In return we can offer you an exciting, well organised, vibrant environment in which to work, with an
experienced, committed and ambitious team to support you.
We strongly encourage visits to the school and these can be arranged by contacting Mr Gretton along
