TA Role -Support Staff Grade 3 - approx 25-30 hours a week (£21,504 to £26,874)
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and dedicated member of staff to work full time on a dual contract as both a teaching assistant and teacher at Norwich High Prep School for Girls. A number of our current teaching assistants are either qualified teachers who also have a dual contract or teach as a UQT. We value the flexibility this gives our staff team and the opportunity it affords us to provide the best experience for our pupils.
The successful candidate will be suitably qualified and experienced, with at least a Level 3 qualification or equivalent for the teaching assistant role. In this aspect of their role, they will be based across the Prep School supporting learners in class, running intervention groups and supervising pupils. They may be required to cover a class if a teacher is absent. For the right candidate, there is an opportunity to have a dual contract, involving weekly timetabled teaching responsibilities. The subjects taught will depend on the level of qualification, experience and subject knowledge. Lessons would likely be in both Key Stage 1 and 2 and further details can be discussed at interview. The role is five days a week, term time only and the usual daily hours are 8am to 4pm.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and nurturing individual to be part of our school, working as a member of a dedicated and experienced team. We are a friendly and supportive community, where every child is seen as an individual and given the space and encouragement to thrive. Norwich High School has a strong reputation for academic excellence, pastoral care and breadth of opportunities. Our girls learn in calm and purposeful classroom environments and enjoy a range of activities throughout the week. They love to learn and are a pleasure to work with.
