Teaching Assistant level 3 (grade 4)

Cheetwood Primary School is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Level 3 Teaching Assistant to join our supportive and nurturing team.

The successful candidate will primarily work within our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting high-quality learning through play, communication, and early development.

Our school ethos, “Learn Together, Grow Together,” underpins everything we do.

We are proud of our pupil-led values, which guide our learning community: we encourage our children to be curious, hopeful, empowered, enthusiastic, tolerant, willing to try, optimistic, original and diverse.

We are looking for a TA who will champion and model these values every day.

In addition to your main EYFS responsibilities, the successful candidate will also be required to provide occasional class supervision across other year groups when needed.

This may include covering short-term teacher absence, leading lessons from prepared plans, or providing additional classroom support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support high-quality teaching and learning within EYFS, helping children achieve their early developmental milestones.
• Deliver small-group and 1:1 intervention as directed by class teachers.
• Foster a safe, inclusive and stimulating learning environment that reflects our ethos and values.
• Build positive relationships with children, parents and colleagues.
• Provide short-term classroom supervision across other year groups, ensuring continuity of learning.
• Support behaviour management and uphold the school’s values and expectations.
• Assist with assessment, observations, and recording of pupils’ progress.
• Promote our values by encouraging learners to be curious, confident, resilient and open-minded.
• Contribute to wider school life and work effectively as part of a committed team.
