About the role

We are on a mission to be the best primary school in the land and as such, have very high expectations. To help us with this journey we need an inspirational person to join our team. If that sounds like you, read on!

We are ambitious (we need to be) and keen to harness like-minded professionals who have the drive and determination to make good things happen. We are in search of a Teaching Assistant to work 25 hours per week, fixed term until 31 August 2026, who has a positive attitude towards self- improvement and a commitment to collaboration & sharing best practice, learning, reﬂection and improvement. In a nutshell, we are keen to ﬁnd someone who is exciting, who expresses unerring positivity, who believes ‘thank you’ is not said enough and who can inspire all around them.

We have already begun our journey to greatness and have a team brimming with strength and potential. We know that when you spend time with us you will see a learning community that is not afraid to take risks and be innovative, and is also proud of what it achieves including the mistakes. You will see happy and enthusiastic children and staﬀ who are supportive of each other. Research driven teaching approaches ensure we do more of the things that mater and less of the things that don’t. Our Christian Values are key to our warm and supportive environment; they are part of everything we do.

We also know life is not just about teaching, there is more to life than work. Whilst with us look around and experience what we have on our door step. A stone’s throw away is the leisure centre (reduced rates available) should sweat and Lucozade be your thing. Behind us we have the Milldown Nature Reserve, if peace and tranquillity is more your style. All in all, we think it’s not a bad place to work.

Still interested? You’d better get started on the application form, but before you do cast an eye over this video.

At Milldown CE Academy we have a belief that all children need the very best adults to work with and support their growth, they need to know they are cared for and thought about. The video emphasises the importance of our attitude and outlook. Do you share this view? If so we are already oﬀ to a ﬂying start.

We want our staff to thrive so we offer an extensive range of wellness services and professional learning opportunities to support growth and development. Please visit our website for further details.
