St John’s is a village school with a friendly and welcoming environment, we are a school driven by our school vision of growing together in one family. This is at the core of our school and supported through our values of love, friendship, forgiveness, respect and honesty. We pride ourselves on being a nurturing and inclusive school who successfully support the needs of all our children. Our most recent OFSTED report in November 2023 praised our children for their impeccable behaviour in lessons and for the positive relationships between children and staff. The Inspectors praised our SEN provision and the opportunities our school provides for all children.

Due to the retirement of our experienced HLTA at Easter, we have an exciting opportunity for the right person at St John’s School. The Headteacher and Governors are seeking to appoint, an enthusiastic and dedicated colleague, in the role as Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), who will work as part of a team including teachers and other support staff to support the learning and welfare of the children at St John’s.

Part of this role will also involve providing pastoral support for children 1:1 and in small groups to meet their varied needs. Experience of working with children with SEMH needs and delivering pastoral interventions is desirable.
