To start – ASAP

We are currently seeking an able and enthusiastic teaching assistant to join and work within our thriving Prep School and Nursery at Shebbear College. The role would suit someone with prior experience as a teaching assistant or someone who is looking to move into the primary education sector.

Shebbear College is a small independent day and boarding school of around 300 pupils, for boys and girls aged from 2 – 18. Set in 85-acres of countryside between Dartmoor and Exmoor, it is an idyllic location in which to work. Class sizes are smaller than average throughout the school and we pride ourselves on knowing every pupil as an individual, recognising their potential and helping them to achieve their best, whatever that may be. This is what makes us special and stands us apart from other schools.

We are looking for a teaching assistant who will be able to work with children from the ages of 2 - 11 and our Prep School and Nursery team. This varied role will combine supporting the teaching staff and children throughout all their academic and extracurricular activities.

We would like to hear from you if you feel you have the skill and attributes for this varied and exciting role.
You will be involved and supported by the Inspired Learning Group of schools and Nurseries.

BENEFITS OF SERVICE
• Working in a small friendly school in a stunning rural location
• A competitive salary will be dependent on qualifications, skills and experience
• Longer holidays than the maintained sector
• Free lunch and refreshments during term-time
• Health & Wellbeing Centre on site during term time
• Free use of the college facilities such as gymnasium
