The school
Totley Primary School is a happy, thriving school providing high quality education both in the classroom and throughout a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We are very proud of our children and believe they should perform well academically and develop as people.
Our outstanding school covers the ages 4-11 and is two-form entry, accommodating approximately 425 children. The school is in the suburb of Totley in South Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District.
The role
Totley Primary School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic practitioner who is able to provide high quality play support to our children in our wraparound care facility. The role will follow a shift pattern on a rota basis. The shifts will be between the times of 7am to 9.30am and 2.45pm to 6pm.
We are looking for someone who can complement this team who is a self-starter, able to work using their own initiative and who is prepared to work outside their comfort zone from time to time. The sky is the limit though and you will have the chance to be as creative as you like as you grow and develop extended services in the school alongside the established team.
The candidate
The right candidate will have:
• experience ideally gained within a busy and demanding environment
• a keen desire in children’s development
• an ability to work using their own initiative
• an alignment to a can-do culture
• the capability to maintain effective relationships
• a high level of communication skills and the ability to relate positively to children and adults
• the talent to adapt to changing situations and learn new skills
• a keen eye for ensuring the safety of our pupils
Totley Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We particularly welcome applications from under represented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
