Job description

Are you looking for an opportunity to secure yourself a full time Teaching Assistant role from recently graduating? Look no further as I am currently looking for driven graduates to work in some fantastic Catholic schools based in Kingston Upon Thames, SW London.

Teaching Personnel have recently secured an arrangement with the Southwark Diocese. This agreement sees Teaching Personnel tasked with supplying their staff across the board with a number of vacancies, some currently available include:

• General TA KS1.
• General TA KS2.
• Early Years Assistant and Nursery Nurse.
• 1:1 additional SEN support.

No experience? Not a problem!

• The Diocese is looking to support inexperienced staff by providing a selection of candidates the relevant experience and training to secure a post in either one of their schools or one of the many other schools which Teaching Personnel is working with. This is through a mixture of CPD, sit down talks with experienced Head Teachers and experience days provided with full feedback and referencing that proves invaluable in securing work!

Not Catholic? Not a problem either!

• The Diocese are looking for people who can uphold the ethos of the diocese with this being covered in the Head Teacher talk provided in the program
• Catholic schools are diverse and inclusive; only 41% of the 41,000 pupils in independent Catholic schools were Catholic. Proportions of Catholic teachers were lower: 57% of 44,000 in maintained schools and 40% of 5,000 in independent schools

Why Catholic schools?

• In terms of overall effectiveness, Ofsted judged 73% of Catholic secondary schools to be outstanding or good, compared to 60% of schools nationally. For primary schools, 74% of Catholic schools were judged outstanding or good compared to 66% nationally
