The school

Totley Primary School is a happy, thriving school providing high quality education both in the classroom and throughout a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We are very proud of our children and believe they should perform well academically and develop as people.

Our outstanding school covers the ages 4-11 and is two-form entry, accommodating approximately 425 children. The school is in the suburb of Totley in South Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District.

The role

Totley Primary have an exciting opportunity for an ambitious, talented and caring candidate to join our team as a teaching assistant level 2.

This role is to work as part of a team of teaching assistants and alongside class teachers to assist with the teaching and support of children in order to provide high quality provision.

You will be required to understand and support children facing these barriers, alongside working more broadly with a wide range of children, initially in key stage one.

We are seeking someone with a genuine passion for fostering positive relationships and a commitment to providing optimal support with a wide range of children. If you possess a desire to make a difference and cultivate meaningful connections with students, this role offers an ideal opportunity for professional growth and fulfilment.

• deliver high quality support/interventions for both groups and individuals

• have strong numerical skills

• have an ability to work using their own initiative

• have an alignment to a can-do culture

• have a high level of communication skills and the ability to develop positive relationships with children and adults
