St Damian’s is an oversubscribed Roman Catholic Science College which is committed to the professional development of staff and promoting the welfare of children. In our last Ofsted we were once again, judged Outstanding in all areas. We are proud to be a high achieving Catholic school, who consistently produces at least good outcomes for our great children “Pupils, including those with SEND, feel honoured, safe and happy to be attending this school” [Ofsted 2023]. Equally, we are also proud that we have a very stable staff who love working here and enjoy the benefits St Damian’s has to offer. We are seeking two enthusiastic and committed Teaching Assistants to work under the guidance of the SENDCO, teachers and senior staff to raise the learning and attainment of pupils, whilst also promoting their independence, self-esteem and social inclusion. You will provide assistance to pupils so that they can access the curriculum, participate in learning, and experience a sense of achievement. You will be required to work in the classroom or outside the main teaching area. Previous relevant experience is desirable, but is not essential. You will be required for 32½ hours each week, term time only Monday to Friday. St Damian’s is widely recognised for the quality of care it provides for all pupils and the professional opportunities afforded to all colleagues. “Pupils’ personal development is promoted exceedingly well” [Ofsted 2023] The College is committed to safeguarding children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure and the successful completion of a six-month probationary period.
