"Putting Children First"

The Governors and pupils of St John Chrysostom Federation are seeking to appoint two Level 3 Teaching Assistants who will support and promote the vision and values of the Federation, helping us to maintain high-quality education and achieve the best possible outcomes for all our pupils.

These posts would suit graduates seeking valuable experience in a school setting, Early Career Teachers (ECTs) who have not yet secured a permanent teaching post, or experienced Teaching Assistants looking for a new challenge and the opportunity to make a real difference within a successful Federation.

St John's Primary School and St Chrysostom's Primary School are part of a federation led by an Executive Headteacher, two Heads of School and a Strategic Governance Body. Together, we are committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive and inspiring environment where every child is valued and encouraged to succeed.

We welcome applications from candidates who have:

• A strong commitment to raising achievement and aspirations for all pupils.
• The ability to motivate, support and inspire children through high professional standards and expectations.
• Energy, enthusiasm and a passion for supporting children's learning and development.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
• A commitment to sustaining and developing the Christian ethos and values of our schools.
• The flexibility, resilience and dedication needed to meet the diverse needs of our pupils.

In return, we offer:

•  Enthusiastic and energetic children who are eager to learn.
•  A welcoming and inclusive environment where every child matters and everyone counts.
• A skilled, dedicated and hardworking staff team committed to excellence.
• Strong and supportive leadership.
• An active and supportive Governing Body committed to the success of the Federation.
• Strong links with the Church and wider community.
• High-quality support, training and professional development opportunities to help you thrive in your role.

If you are passionate about making a positive difference to children's lives and would like to join a caring and successful Federation, we would be delighted to hear from you.
