Teaching Assistant

Arundel Court Primary Academy

We are above average in size with approximately 680 pupils and a nursery on site. The school has been part of The University of Chichester Academy Trust since 2017 as a converter academy. An extensive new academy building programme (PSBP2) funded by the EFSA was completed in February 2020. In 2023, the school expanded further with the opening of our Nest, an inclusion centre for 24 children. We are an inclusive community that challenges and inspires children in a creative and engaging way, laying the foundations for life.

Position Description

School staff know that no two days are the same and that no two children are the same either. Supporting a wide range of learning activities, you will support the Class Teacher to ensure a safe environment, prepare resources, and in developing independent thinking and promoting excellent behaviour for learning. This may include supporting learners on a one-to-one or small group basis. This post will also include lunchtime supervision.

Experience of working with young people in an educational setting is desirable but we would also welcome applications who may wish to train or embark on a new, exciting career. If you have transferable skills and are passionate about education; committed to making a difference and have the know-how and skills to support learners; if you are able to balance care and support with challenge, rules and high expectations, we want to hear from you now! 

In return, you will be part of the University of Chichester Academy Trust, bringing you added benefits and opportunities. You will find that each of our Academies has a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and enriching environment, where all staff feel valued.
