2 x Permanent Positions, Term Time Only

Broadmayne First School is seeking to appoint two permanent Teaching Assistants to start on Monday 17th April 2023 or as soon as possible after that date.

The successful candidate will provide support to pupils both within and outside the classroom, across a range of activities. The post will involve class support, small group work and 1:1 support as needed. A willingness to act as cover supervisor for class teachers is welcomed.

Staff will be required to support lunchtime supervision and the ability to work one afternoon a week in our after-school club will be an advantage.

The school session times are:

Morning session: 8.45am – 12:00pm (KS1)

Afternoon session: 1pm – 3:15pm

Cool Kids, our after-school provision, runs from 3.15pm - 5.30pm from Monday to Thursday.

Broadmayne is a popular village school just outside the town of Dorchester. Our school places great emphasis on outdoor learning and uses this to support all aspects of the curriculum. We are an attachment friendly and trauma informed school, and an understanding of these approaches, or a willingness to train in them, would be an advantage. We can offer the successful candidate:

• A dedicated, supportive community of staff, governors and parents
• The chance to work with a school with a broad curriculum and an enjoyment of the outdoors
• The opportunity to work with, and support, children with a lively interest in the world around them
• The opportunity and support to develop professionally

Please see the attached Job Description / Person Specification.

Visits to the School are warmly welcomed and strongly encouraged - please contact Sally Foyle on 01305 852471 to arrange this.

Broadmayne First School values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all members of the community. Applicants should apply online via Dorset Jobs: www.jobs.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk

Interview Date: Tuesday 21 March 2023

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and this is a commitment we expect all staff and volunteers to share. The successful candidate will be required to have a Disclosure and Barring Service check in line with the Government safer recruitment guidelines.

Broadmayne First School will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. All aspects of social media and internet searches will be conducted.

As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who is not on the appointment panel will conduct the searches and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

This role is UK based and your Right to Work will need to be established as part of the appointment process.

The salary quoted is for a full academic year being worked. An adjustment to salary will therefore be made each month to reflect the pro-rata salary due for the period being worked / paid leave accrued in the first academic year.
