The role is due to start after the Easter holidays, start date 23^rd of April and complete a two week handover with the current class TA. The role will start on a rolling basis, potentially on a temp to perm contract. The school use Teaching Personnel to source their Teaching/Teaching Assistant/Support Staff so they can implement a risk free, probation period. The cover will be mainly in Years 3 & 5 due to the levels of SEN in those particular classes. The hours will be 8:45 - 3:15, Monday - Friday, with the option of a 30 minute welfare duty at dinner.

The reason for the cover is due to the class TA relocating down South. This therefore creates a gap in the staffing.

Staff who work through Teaching Personnel have said the school is a great place to work and the leadership team inspire a high level of learning & commitment across the school. The school is located in the heart of Nelson and has a high percentage of EAL children who attend school.
