Do you have the ambition, energy and drive to be part of a unique and growing new school? We are looking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our primary phase at St Mark's Church of England, all-through school in Southampton. This is a great opportunity for an ambitious individual to connect directly with the brilliant pupils and young people we care for, helping to make sure they get the very best from their education.
St Mark's opened the secondary phase of its all-through school in 2022 when the school moved into brand new facilities. The school is highly oversubscribed and quickly established an excellent local reputation, including a rating of 'good' in all areas by Ofsted in 2022.
The successful candidate will be keen to become an active member of the school community and opportunities for development are rich. With a rich diversity of backgrounds and cultures from our local community, the post-holder needs to be fully committed to inclusivity and hold a core belief in raising aspirations for every child regardless of their background and individual needs.
Being part of a growing school is a rare and exciting opportunity and the unique context of being Southampton's only all-through school gives candidates an opportunity to work across all ages with a range of staff as we further expand and gain a really broad range of experiences.
To be successful, you will need to uphold our school's strong Christian values of Love, Service and Belonging and live these values as you work with colleagues to support our children and our community. As well as this, you will be able to communicate clearly and persuasively both orally and in writing with children, staff and parents alike, as well as being well organised and hard-working.
Closing date: 1:00pm, 2nd October 2026
St Mark's Church of England School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This role requires an enhanced DBS. Southampton City Council is an equal opportunity employer.
