Level 2 Teaching Assistant

2x Teaching Assistant Level 2 in Liverpool Primary School

Catholic Liverpool Primary School

‘Challenging’ catchment area which requires strong behaviour management

Level 2 Teaching Assistant award or above qualification is required

I am currently seeking two Level 2 qualified Teaching Assistants to work in a Liverpool Primary School. The School is located ten minutes from the town centre and commutable by car and bus. The Head teacher is keen to promote the Catholic faith in school and so you must be able to support this with confidence and with the correct subject knowledge, however you don’t have to be a practising Catholic to undertake the roles. The roles will be to start in September 2024 and run until Easter 2025 on a supply basis. From the success of using Teaching Personnel to recruit 2 members of staff this academic year, the Head Teacher is keen to shortlist, interview & appoint the teaching assistants through Teaching Personnel, to then conduct a handover period, if they a ‘the correct fit’ for school.

One role will be working in the Year 1 class with a very experienced Teacher. The other role will be working alongside a recently qualified Teacher who is due to become fully qualified after successfully completing her second ECT year. 

The working hours will be 8:45 - 15:30 with ½ hour welfare cover. The school is currently graded as GOOD by Ofsted and also holds a GOOD RE inspection. The Head teacher has implemented a strong and consistent behaviour policy which the children respond to really well. It is therefore important that if you are successful, that you are able to fit into the team and implement the policy effectively.

In the past, the school have used Teaching Personnel and taken staff on to permanent contracts. This could be an excellent opportunity which could lead to a full time contract. This won’t come without the right attitude in school though. You must be enthusiastic and passionate about raising standards in school and be able to build strong working relationships with children, staff and parents. As the school falls in a socially deprived area of Burnley, you will need to be able to liaise with a variety of individuals, some who may be aggressive!
