Teaching Assistant

At King Edwin Primary School, we believe that education is about more than just meeting targets; it’s about igniting curiosity and building the confidence children need to navigate the world. Our school is a vibrant hub in the Edwinstowe community, defined by a culture of high expectations, mutual respect, and a genuine sense of belonging. 

We are currently looking for a dedicated and inspirational Teaching Assistant to join our team. We aren't looking for someone to simply "assist" - we are looking for a #KingEdwinner: a professional who is deeply committed to the craft of supporting young learners and who brings a unique, positive energy to our classrooms.

What We Are Looking For:

The successful candidate will be someone who understands and is skilled at supporting our children both academically and emotionally. 

We want to hear from you if: 

• You are a specialist in potential: You have a knack for identifying a child’s barriers to learning and the 
  patience and skill to help them break through. 
• You lead by example: You model resilience, kindness, and curiosity in everything you do.
• You are proactive: You don’t wait to be told where you’re needed; you see the "gap" and fill it with 
  purposeful support. 
• You value connection: You understand that children learn best when they feel safe and seen. You are a 
  master at building rapport with students, parents, and colleagues alike. 
• You hold high standards: You take pride in your work and believe that every child - regardless of their 
  starting point - is capable of greatness. 

Why King Edwin Primary? 

• A supportive environment: We are a team of professionals who genuinely look out for each other. Your 
  professional development and well-being are priorities, not afterthoughts. 
• Our pupils: Our children are inquisitive, energetic, and a genuine joy to teach. They make the "hard 
  days" worth it. 
• Our ethos: We are proud of our reputation for excellence in Edwinstowe. At KEPS, you aren't just an 
  employee; you are a vital part of a mission-driven community.
• Our Values:  We grow, learn and achieve together here at KEPS and our values permeate every element 
  of school life 

How to Apply:

If you are ready to bring your talent and dedication to a school that celebrates character as much as we do 
attainment, we want to hear from you.

Please submit your application form, along with a letter of application to the School Office (office@kingedwin.notts.sch.uk).  In your letter, please move beyond the standard "I enjoy working with children" and explain what being our next #KingEdwinner means to you, and how your specific skills will enhance our awesome team. 

"Be more than a Teaching Assistant. Be our next KingEdwinner."
