We are looking to appoint a Teaching Assistant — Monday to Friday, 32.5 hours per week, term time only.
About us: We are a large primary school surrounded by fabulous grounds and a park very close to the city of Manchester. We have over 500 children including 60 full‑time nursery children. Our staff are a mixture of experienced and newer teachers and leaders working in close partnership with our amazing team of support staff. Our children access their learning in a variety of ways and make use of the latest technologies; for example, we have over 350 Chromebooks across the school, with every child from year 2 upwards having their own named Chromebook. This makes planning and delivering lessons easier for teachers and leads to effective learning for our children.
We take staff development seriously, with weekly opportunities for teachers and teaching assistants to receive up‑to‑the‑minute training. Many of our staff undertake additional training and the school supports them to do this. Our staff room is a relaxing environment with a range of facilities for staff to feel supported and to relax away from the hustle and bustle of class.
At River View we work with our Teaching Assistants flexibly, responding to needs as they arise. As such our Teaching Assistants may be deployed in different phases and departments of the school, including our Harbour provision, and across a range of roles. This can include providing 1:1 support, supporting small groups, undertaking specialist interventions, and supporting across a range of groups or classes.

- Have experience of working in a school environment
- Promote positive attitudes to learning and all aspects of school life
- Have a desire to make a difference
- Be creative and flexible in your approach to working with children
- Be keen to develop your own skills and knowledge of key strategies
