Job Introduction
Bythams Primary School requires a part time Teaching Assistant in KS2 from September 2025.
Do you have the skills, passion and creativity to engage children and help them to achieve their full potential?
We are looking to appoint a calm, caring and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant who will be able to offer excellent support in Key Stage 2. You will be working with a highly supportive, dedicated team of teachers and teaching assistants. We are looking for a committed team player who is flexible, positive, and has a hands-on approach to developing children’s learning.
The position is from 8.30am to 3.15pm, 2 days per week (days to be discussed at interview), based on 39 weeks per year. The option to take on Midday Supervisor duties are available, if interested.

• be able to support children using positive behaviour strategies
