Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of West Bretton Junior and Infant School.

The Governors of West Bretton Junior and Infant School are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teaching assistant to join our hard working and dedicated team. The post is to primarily support the teaching, learning and progress of children within KS2 and to do interventions, either individual or in small groups on some afternoons. The post will involve working alongside the class teachers and liaising with staff to implement any planned programmes of activities.

  • Has the capacity to inspire and enthuse children in their learning
  • Has the ability to show initiative and self-motivation
  • Has high expectations of behaviour and standards
  • Has excellent communication skills and a strong commitment to working as part of a team
  • Is flexible

In return we can offer you:

  • Enthusiastic and engaging children who are eager to learn
  • A vibrant and welcoming learning environment
  • A school committed to staff development opportunities
  • A caring and supportive team of staff and governors
