Job Description

St Mark's Church of England Primary is a much-loved Church school, set in its own extensive grounds. We are very lucky to be located close to the seaside, within the beautiful rolling hills of the Purbecks. We are a school where individuals are valued and helped to always achieve their personal best. Children are supported to become confident and independent young people, ones who thrive on challenge, and are motivated to learn.



The school is part of Coastal Learning Partnership Multi Academy Trust; a vibrant, collaborative Trust of twenty schools working together around shared goals, values, and aspirations.



We are seeking to appoint a teaching assistant with a passion for developing and inspiring a life-long love of learning to join our dedicated, friendly, and highly motivated team supporting our children. We are looking for enthusiastic, responsible candidates, who enjoy working with children of all primary ages, possess good inter-personal skills and have a desire to support pupils to progress with their learning and development. We are particularly keen to find the right candidate who can make a meaningful impact by supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to thrive both academically and emotionally in a nurturing and inclusive environment.



Essential requirements are good standards of spoken and written English and Mathematics to a minimum of GCSE grade C level or equivalent.
