Offley Endowed Primary School and Nursery has a growing reputation and pupil numbers continue to climb, so we have decided to recruit an additional enthusiastic and experienced person to join our Year One team as soon as possible.  These are exciting times at Offley.  As the word spreads about our lovely rural Christian Primary School, places are now almost full in every year group with a waiting list for places in our modern Nursery and Reception classes.  We are passionate about giving all our pupils a primary school experience to enjoy and memories to cherish.  The successful candidate will:

  • From time-to-time, supervise year groups during short-term absence of the teacher e.g 1/2 day in the Year 1 class.  This would include delivering the lesson planned by the teacher, marking and giving feedback.

  • Within an agreed system of supervision, plan, deliver and evaluate programmes of work that meet teaching and learning objectives.

  • Take shared responsibility for mid-morning break

  • Assist with the development of individual education plans and personal care programmes.  

  • Supervise and provide individual support, for pupils with identified special educational needs.

  • Supervise whole classes during the short-time absence of a teacher

  • Be enthusiastic, self motivated, flexible and approachable

  • Hold a paediatric first aid qualification (or be willing to undertake training)

  • Demonstrate a positive attitude and good communication skills

  • Be committed to, and able to contribute to the wider life of the whole school.

  • Have a commitment to working within the caring Christian ethos of the school, carrying out its aims, working in partnership with the Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher and all school staff and Governors.

We will offer you:

  • A friendly and welcoming school with staff known as 'Team Offley'
