Job description
TEACHING ASSISTANT (EARLY YEARS)
Laureate Community Academy
Early Years Teaching Assistant
Start Date: 18th April 2023
Contract Type: Fixed term until 31st August 2023. 5.5 hours per week
As a result of the expansion of our Early Years provision, with a newly opened third classroom, we are excited to be able to offer a skilled, experienced and flexible Teaching Assistant the opportunity to join our Nursery team. Although this is a part-time role in the first instance to work Fridays, it is highly likely that additional hours throughout the week will become available as Nursery numbers continue to grow; similarly, further opportunities beyond the Summer Term are likely to become available according to the needs of the school.
We are a welcoming, inclusive school community rated ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ features by Ofsted. The successful applicant will:
- Have a positive impact on the attainment and progress of pupils;
- Undertake a range of specialised tasks to support the learning and development of pupils;
- Promote pupil independence and positive behaviours for learning through a ‘least help first’ approach;
- Have an appropriate level of expertise, qualifications and/or experience, including in English and maths, and a full and relevant Level 3 (or higher) EYFS qualification.
As part of the highly regarded Unity Schools Partnership, we offer:
- Friendly, energetic pupils who are keen to learn and appreciate the support that they are given;
- A wide range of CPD opportunities, in association with the Unity Research School and Unity Teaching School Hub;
- Opportunities for career progression across the trust;
- A dedicated, supportive team of professional colleagues and governors.
Visits to the school are encouraged - please contact the school office for further details:

In line with safer recruitment, we are unable to accept CVs. Failure to complete an application form satisfactorily may result in not being shortlisted for the post.

We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever we can – whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance. We’re keen to ensure we’re designing an organisation that works for everyone, so we particularly encourage applications from different under-represented groups.
Unity Schools Partnership, welcoming diversity.
