Are you an experienced Teaching assistant/Learning assistant/or qualified teacher who is looking for a different opportunity? Do you feel as though you want to make a difference in a popular, friendly and nurturing Federation? Here at Bursledon we are committed to making a difference every day and we would love you to consider joining our team!
We are excited to be advertising for the position of Higher-Level Teaching Assistant at the Bursledon Federation from November 2024. This is a skilled position to which we are fortunate to already have four others in the team and we want to extend and develop our team further. We are looking for staff who have EYFS, KS1 and KS2 experience who are flexible, dynamic, motivated and excited to make a difference every day.
We are determined to instil a love of learning (for both pupils and staff) and fully embrace our vision and values of love, respect and aspire - they sit at the heart of everything we do. As a federation we give children consistently challenging, yet supporting learning opportunities within a broad, balanced and creative curriculum where risk taking is encouraged and where children can learn from their mistakes. We love to celebrate progress, achievement, effort for both pupils and staff. We strongly focus on working together with families and the wider community so that school-based learning is understood and can be built upon outside the school day. This specific role gives you the chance to cover classes, lead interventions, take booster groups and build strong, powerful relationships with pupils across both schools.
Both schools are rated 'Good' with some outstanding elements from Ofsted in the last 2 years, as well as a recent 'Excellent' SIAMS inspection in the Infants - we are at a strong point in school development and as a result our current Federation Improvement Plan is dynamic, exciting and really outward facing and our end of year outcomes are positive.
We have much to offer members of staff including - SAS Wellbeing support (including comprehensive physical and mental health support to staff including private medical operations, counselling, physiotherapy and personal annual health checks), A focused and personalised CPD programme whereby we support improvement and further challenge, Excellent leadership mentoring/coaching programmes - supporting those who have a view to move further in their career into a qualified teaching position and/or would like to develop their pedagogical skills to a specialist area.
As a Federation we have a strong and supportive Governing body and we work hard to give our staff free tea, coffee, hot chocolate, accreditations and further development. We really value our staff and wellbeing is a key priority and we run socials every half term for those that like to spend time outside of the working day together. Would you like to come and join our team? Please do, get in touch!
